Vicenza Virtus – Palermo

Vicenza Virtus host league leaders Palermo in what promises to be a stark contrast of form, with the home side perched at 17th place on five points after one win, two draws and two defeats, having scored seven and conceded ten. Palermo sit atop the table on 13 points, unbeaten with four victories and a draw, and boast a superior goal difference of +5 after netting ten and allowing just five. The gap between the clubs is evident not only in points but also in recent momentum, as Palermo have yet to taste defeat this season while Vicenza have struggled to find consistency. A win for Palermo would extend their flawless run and solidify their grip on first place, whereas a point for Vicenza could be a lifeline in the fight to avoid the drop.
