Palermo will host Cagliari at the Stadio Renzo Barbera in Serie B on Sunday (December 18), looking to extend their unbeaten run to four games.
After losing to Cosenza and Venezia, Le Aquile have won once and drawn twice in their next three games. With 20 points in 17 games, Eugenio Corini's side are in 14th place, hovering just a point above the relegation playout spots.
Cagliari have accrued two more points than Palermo and sit three places above them in the Serie B standings.
The Rossoblu, meanwhile, recently ended their seven-game winless run in the league with a 3-2 defeat of Perugia on Sunday.
Fabio Liverani's side were close to dropping points here too, blowing a two-goal lead, but Leonardo Pavoletti scored an 83rd-minute winner to seal all three points for the hosts.

Palermo vs Cagliari Prediction
Palermo are unbeaten in their last three games but have drawn their last two. Also, in nine home games this season, they have won only thrice.
Cagliari are not going to be intimidated by the home crowd and are coming off a win. However, considering how they've fared this season and a relative lack of quality in both camps, a low-scoring draw could ensue.
