With these performances, Palermo continues to maintain its leadership, but the next match against Carrarese remains crucial to consolidate its position.

The Verona match against Pisa at the Bentegodi, scheduled for 5.15pm, will be an important opportunity for both teams to earn points and improve their position in the league table. Tomorrow therefore promises to be intense, with the clubs trying to consolidate their positions in view of the next few weeks of the championship.
