Today’s edition of “Il Giornale di Sicilia” focuses on the match that Palermo will play in La Spezia, which is fundamental for the standings and the playoffs.
Palermo are at a crucial stage of the season, facing important challenges to secure their position in the play-offs for promotion to Serie A. Despite the disappointing defeat against Reggiana, Palermo maintains a significant advantage over the chasing teams and can still secure a safe place with some favorable results.
The match against Spezia thus becomes decisive for Palermo. A win would not only mathematically confirm their place in the play-offs, but it would also guarantee sixth place in the standings, making the results of teams from ninth position below irrelevant. This scenario would allow Palermo not to depend on the results of Brescia and Sampdoria, who face theoretically simpler away games.
In the event of a defeat in La Spezia, Palermo’s qualification for the play-offs would almost certainly be postponed, since it would be enough for one of Pisa and Cittadella to gain a point in their matches, or for Südtirol to win against Ternana, to further complicate the situation. Therefore, the match in La Spezia represents a turning point for Palermo, where a victory could reassure and give a morale boost to the team, while other results could increase the pressure and uncertainty for the play-offs.
