Siena after won with Napoli 2-1 week ago now have 40 points, which puts them 11 points above the relegation zone with four matches remaining.So team is practically safety now but mathematically he still needs one point or maybe two points in order to be sure about the maintenance.Marco Giampaolo he is doing really splendid work here, also he chance to join a big club in the next season. It's been a record-breaking season for Tuscan club as they had never obtained 11 victories before this season.President Lombardi Stronati he is emphasizing that very much he trusts him and he is saying we are friends and we respect each other.Also fans they like him very much.Siena actually winning three of their past five matches and building an 11-point lead above the relegation zone, currently including both Torino and Chievo in between. This is also very interesting club,he has very good players but not a refined format,he is Massimo Maccarone which is the top scorer with eight goals,Houssine Kharja also very offensive player,very fast and he always causes defenders considerable problems.Also in midfield Daniele Galloppa and Paul Codrea they are doing a good job and and the likes of Daniele Portanova and Juan Zuniga at the back have been been determined to stop goals from leaking into the net.Today will play without Guadalupi, Eleftheropoulos, Maccarone,Manitta.So in up front will play Calaio and Ghezzal,Kharja right behind them lightly he will be moved back.This is it will be a good move Giampaolo.He has also an option with Amoruso and Frick in up front which will start on the bench.Siena also have been excellent at the back this season,allowing just 37 goals against, the sixth-best defensive record in the league.Zuniga this is also very interesting young defender,the Colombian international has been one of the best right-backs in Serie A this season so big clubs could be watch him Portanova,Brandao,Rossi this is a defence line-up for today clash on Artemio Franchi.
Palermo are currently fighting for a Europa League spot as they stand in seventh place with 52 points from 34 games played, just one point behind Roma with four games remaining before the end of the season.After won very important match with Cagliari 5-1 week ago,they must once again show character and take the successive victory back.This is also a crucial game for full-back Federico Balzaretti in Palermo.Balzaretti played for the Tuscan side during the 2001/02 season when he was still 20 years old and that experience helped him mature and become a better player.But he probably won't play today.Ballardini use typical 4-4-2 formation,Cesare Bovo returns from suspension to partner Kjaer in central defence.Savini and Cassani will play on the right and left flank.This is not good option and this defence line-up she won't be functioning properly.Palermo also have biggest problem with their form on the road this season,with a record of four wins, four draws and a hefty nine losses.Cavani and Miccoli which one of the best striker’s and has bagged 11 goals this campaign will play once again in upfront.
For me this is a very much promising the match for Siena team,Palermo there is no good defence so Calaio and maybe Ghezzal should score here,if they score Siena win here.I think Miccoli and Cavani they will have a problem with the well functioning so far defence Siena.
