Palermo-Reggiana x-rays: historical data, trends and curiosities
- This will be the 30th match in Serie B between Palermo and Reggiana: in the previous 29 there have been 14 draws (including five 0-0s, the most frequent score between the two teams and the result of two of the last three matches), nine rosanero victories and you’re grenade.
- After the victory in the first round, Palermo could beat Reggiana in both seasonal Serie B matches for only the second time in the 15 tournaments shared with the Emilians in second place (the only previous one was in 1975/76).
- Palermo has collected three draws in the last three matchdays and could have four consecutive matches in Serie B for the first time since a series of five between February and March 2023; on the other hand, no team has collected more ‘X’ signs than Reggiana in this junior season (16, equal to Modena).
- Reggiana lost without scoring all three of their most recent Serie B matches, with a deficit of 7-0; the granata have not suffered four consecutive defeats in a single cadet tournament since March 2021, while they have not combined the defeats with a longer streak of games without goals since the period between December 2020 and January 2021 (five in that case, with Massimiliano Alvini on the bench).
- Palermo and Reggiana (seven each) are the two teams that have conceded the most goals from indirect free kicks in this Serie B, but the rosanero are also the team that has scored the most goals via dead balls during the tournament (23 , including eight of the last 14).
- Matteo Brunori (20: 15 goals and five assists in the current Serie B) can equal or exceed the goal participations found in the last cadet tournament (21: 17 goals and four assists). In detail, only Joel Pohjanpalo (49) can boast more over the last two championships than the Rosanero striker (41, in fact).
- Cedric Gondo scored three goals in just two games against Palermo in Serie B (all in the hat-trick on 27 August 2022 – his only one so far in the competition – at the Barbera even if with the Ascoli shirt) and against no team does he count more goals in the league (three also in the matches in Spezia and Venice).
