Palermo vs Milan preview

Palermo will have a lot to prove as they play host to leaders Milan, with the Rosanero looking to end the five-match losing run.

The change of personnel failed to bring the expected improvement as Palermo lost both games under Serse Cosmi, although both games were played away from home.

Palermo are now set to return to Renzo Barbera following the 7:0 defeat to Udinese and the hosts will be desperate to pay the fans back for that dismal performance.

The Rosanero now play 3-4-1-2 under Serse Cosmi, with Javier Pastore playing just behind Miccoli and Pinilla, while the hosts will be without Bovo, Carrozzieri and Cassani.

After the Champions League elimination, Milan can fully focus on their Serie A campaign and the Rossoneri remain hot favourites to win the league title, with 888Sport paying 1.44 (4/9) on Milan to win the title.

Maxi Allegri’s side were not punished for the home draw to Bari as Inter also failed to win their game, but the Rossoneri want to return to winning way at Renzo Barbera.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic starts his three-match ban, while Pirlo, Ambrosini, Bonera and Inzaghi remain sidelined. Pato and Cassano are set to start up front, while Robinho and Boateng are vying for the third place in attack.

Milan are 2.20 (6/5) to win the game at 888Sport, whereas Palermo are 3.75 (11/4) to end the barren run and finally record a victory.
