The table gap is real (Palermo top-six, Entella mid-table), but venue dynamics matter: Stadio Comunale di Chiavari has been a fortress for the hosts this season.</p> <h2>Form Snapshot</h2> <ul> <li>Entella: Unbeaten at home (3-3-0), two straight clean sheets, 2.00 PPG at Chiavari.</li> <li>Palermo: Mixed recent stretch—thumped Pescara 5-0 at home but followed with a 0-1 away defeat at Juve Stabia; also lost 0-3 to Monza.</li> <li>Last 8 PPG: Both teams at 1.13, hinting parity in current momentum.</li> </ul> <h2>Tactical Matchups</h2> <p>Entella’s structure at home is compact and set-piece aware. The standout is centre-back Andrea Tiritiello, whose five goals (all at home) make him the unexpected focal point on dead balls. With Tommaso Fumagalli and Andrea Franzoni supplying quality delivery, Palermo’s marking on corners and wide free-kicks will be under stress.</p> <p>For Palermo, Niccolò Pierozzi’s underlapping runs and presence in the box have been decisive (four league goals), while Joel Pohjanpalo remains a reliable penalty-area reference. Palermo are usually well-drilled without the ball, conceding just 0.75 per game overall, but their away cutting edge has dipped—two straight road blanks.</p> <h2>Goal Timing Trends</h2> <ul> <li>Entella: 64% of goals scored and 81% of goals conceded arrive after the break; average scoring minute 58.</li> <li>Palermo: 67% of goals scored happen in the second half, with late impact in the final quarter-hour.</li> </ul> <p>These profiles point strongly toward a more eventful second half and a slow-burning first period—classic Serie B patterning in a tight game.</p> <h2>Key Situational Edges</h2> <ul> <li>Entella at home: EqualizingRate 100%, TimeTrailing only 8%—they rarely panic and handle game states well.</li> <li>Palermo away: ppg when conceding first is 0.33; if they go behind, recovery has been poor on the road.</li> </ul> <h2>Numbers vs Market</h2> <p>Total goals markets look shaded too high for two teams with modest Over 2.5 hit rates (33% each overall; Palermo away 20%). Under 2.25 at 1.85 offers insurance if the match lands on two goals—an outcome in line with Serie B’s tendency for controlled, low-variance contests.</p> <p>The corners market is appealing: Entella matches average 12.25 corners and have crossed 9.5 in 83% of games; Palermo away sits high as well. Over 9.5 at 1.73 is backed by both teams’ trends.</p> <h2>Predicted Flow</h2> <p>Expect a balanced, disciplined opening with Palermo pressing high in moments but wary of Entella’s set-piece strength. Entella’s late surges and Palermo’s second-half goal clustering suggest the decisive phase will be after halftime. If the hosts score first, their home game-state management should protect at least a point.</p> <h2>The Oracle’s Best Bets</h2> <ol> <li>Entella +0 (DNB) at 1.95 – unbeaten at home, Palermo’s recent away dip.</li> <li>Under 2.25 Goals at 1.85 – both teams’ low O2.5 rates and road trends align.</li> <li>Over 9.5 Corners at 1.73 – strong combined corners profiles.</li> <li>Highest Scoring Half: 2nd at 2.20 – late-goal bias for both teams.</li> <li>Anytime Scorer: Andrea Tiritiello at 8.00 – set-piece ace at a big price.</li> </ol> <h2>Weather & Conditions</h2> <p>Mild, mostly clear conditions (~15°C) should ensure normal tempo and clean footing—no weather-induced variance expected.</p> <h2>Final Word</h2> <p>Palermo’s promotion credentials are real, but Chiavari has been a tough trip for visiting sides this term. The value tilts toward Entella not losing, a smaller goal tally, and a busier second half. The Oracle signs off with a preference for Entella DNB and a low-scoring, set-piece-influenced battle.</p> </body> </html>
