Palermo has been winless in eight consecutive games with their last win coming in late September against Atalanta. With their current slide, the Rosanero has dropped to 19th place in the 20-team Italian top flight table, only one point ahead of cellar-dwelling team Crotone.

The Rosanero is coming off a 1-3 beating in the hands of middling squad Bologna on the road at the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium last Sunday, as per ESPN.

Head coach Roberto De Zerbi's squad scored the first goal of the match in the ninth minute courtesy of a left-footed shot by Macedonian striker Ilija Nestorovski, but the hosts netted the next three goals to snatch away the win and three points from Palermo.

Bologna forward Mattia Destro equalized in the 20th minute to make it a 1-1 tie at the break before teammates Blerim Dzemaili and Federico Viviani added one goal apiece.

Meanwhile, Lazio has been undefeated in their last eight matches. It resulted with the team climbing to the fourth place in the overall standings, only one point behind second and third place teams Roma and AC Milan.

I Biancocelesti routed middling side Genoa, 3-1, at their home ground of Stadio Olimpico also last Sunday to bounce back from a draw with Napoli in the previous round, The Guardian reported.

Brazilian midfielder Felipe Anderson opened the scoring for head coach Simone Inzaghi's side in the 11th minute of the contest to give the hosts a 1-0 lead at the half.

Genoa managed to level the count in the 52nd minute with a right-footed shot by Argentine forward Lucas Ocampos off a pass by teammate Miguel Veloso.

Lazio took back the lead just five minutes later with a penalty kick by team captain Lucas Biglia, before Brazilian center back Wallace sealed the win in the 65th with a right-footer from the center of the box following a corner kick.
