Goal Statistics

Palermo have been steady in attack of late, scoring in 8 consecutive Serie B games. Their PG of 1.7 against Empoli on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

An absolutely dreadful PG of just 0.7 should cause concerns for Empoli fans, as should a 7 Serie B games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
