- 19' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 60' It’s gonna be a card for Valerio Verre.
- 65' Palermo FC is showing some good football. However, Palermo FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
