Palermo-Parma under x-rays: historical data, trends and curiosities

The next match will be the 30th match between Palermo and Parma in Serie B: a favorable result for the rosanero, who have won 15 direct matches, compared to only six successes for the Ducali – eight draws complete the balance.
Parma have remained unbeaten in five of the last six head-to-head matches with Palermo in Serie B, achieving three wins and two draws in the period: as many successes as in the first 23 previous matches in this tournament (D6, L14).
After the 3-3 draw in the first leg of this championship, Palermo and Parma could impact both matches in a single Serie B season for the first time in their history.
Palermo have not won at home in three league matches (D1, L2) and could line up several home matches in a row without success in the cadet tournament for the first time since the period between April and June 2002 (a series of five in that case – 3N, 2P).
Parma have not conceded a goal for two days (0-0 vs Südtirol, 2-0 vs Spezia) and could score three consecutive clean sheets in Serie B for the first time after just over six years (a streak of three ended on 16 April 2018, with Roberto D’Aversa on the bench)
Parma have remained unbeaten in their last five Serie B away games (W3, D2) and have not lined up consecutive matches without defeat away from home in a single season since the period between February and May 2009 (nine in that case – W4, D5 ).
Only Venezia (60) boasts more goals than Parma (59) and Palermo (58) in this Serie B, while the gialloblù and rosanero are by far the teams with the highest number of shots on target: 163 and 170 respectively.
All the last three goals conceded by Parma have arrived following a cross from the sidelines, a situation favorable to Palermo who have instead scored 17 goals in this way in the current championship (at least four more than any other team, including the most recent against Cosenza).
Between Serie A and Serie B, Matteo Brunori is the only player to have reached the threshold of 15 goals (two of which came at the Tardini in the first leg) and five assists this season.
Only Patrick Cutrone (28) has shot more times than Dennis Man (25) at the end of ball-and-chain movements in the ongoing Serie B. However, after taking part in four goals away from home (2G+2A) between the last away match of 2023 and the first of 2024, the Parma striker did not take part in any scoring in the next six league away games .
