Since the return of Stefano Calantuon, Palermo have won three out of five and now the Sicilians might even grab the eight place that brings Intertoto Cup. It is a question if they are interested in that, but they will certainly try to go on with the good run. This game is also the chance for Amauri to say goodbye to the fans at Barbera. Excellent Brazilian striker who has burned Rome down with his two goals…will move to a bigger club. It was certain until few days ago that he is to go to Juvetus, and now Milan have stepped into the race also. Sampdoria lost to Roma, they are without the sixth and seventh place and thus without UEFA Cup, so it now completely same where they will end the championship. Simply, it cannot go worst than eighth place. The game with Roma was only their second home defeat…they conceded goals in the finish of a game. They have obviously lost their breath so it is a big question what a match at Barbera means to them.

Palermo play better against strong

It is enough to take a look at their results at Barbera with top teams. They won Milan, Juve and Fiorentina, drew with Inter. Their better standings were lost in the games with weaker opponents and they weren’t great away also. This team had bigger potential than just the middle but it is very difficult to play in Palermo. The fans put a great pressure, they have an impulsive boss and managers are always to be blamed if something goes wrong. This was the worst season for them since they’ve came back to Serie A. they are already thinking about the signings for the next season, hoping that couple of young players will come from Juventus as the part of a deal for Amauri, like Nocerino or Giovinco, which is unlikely to happen. There are stories in media that Zamparini had prepared 50 million for the renovation…Barzagli and Zaccardo are leaving but several quality defense players will arrive to Sicily. This is certainly the new page in Palermo’s histpry.

Coach Mazzari uncertain for the next season

Great expert that who led Samp to a complete renaissance after the real undertaking in Reggina last season had threatened to leave if his demands don’t be fulfilled. He wants to create a solid team that could make a step forward next season. One of the terms is to keep Cassano who is still under the contract with Real Madrid, and also several young players like Sammarco are owned by great clubs. The word is that magic Maggio will go to Fiorentina, and if Samp get ripped by the big clubs it is certain that Mazzari will choose some other option. Ther are several offers, and he even might take some foreign club. Anyhow, he has got excellent recommendations. He managed to control Cassano although there have been some sparks between them when the mischievous boy from Bari was replaced against his former club, Roma.

Betting verdict

Palermo may have the bigger motivation, but we don’t believe that Samp can win at Barbera anyway. They do not have a real motive, players are thinking about their holidays and it is the same if they will be 6th or 7th. That is why Palermo on level ball or even clear win could pay out. The odds of 2.5o are too high, we believe that Amauri will give his best to score at his goodbye game…

Team news : Palermo is complete while Lucchin, keeper Castelazzi and talented Kalu wont play for Doriani.
