Palermo agains Ascoli - Soccer

Palermo go into Sunday's home game against promoted Ascoli looking to maintain their impresive run at La Favorita. Since coach Papadopulo took over from Dat Neri in january following five defeats in seven Serie A games, Palermo have stayed on course for european football next season having won six of their seven home encounters since Papadopulo took odds.Were italian football fans to name the surprise package of the Serie A season, Ascoli would without a doubt come top of the list. Ascoli's performances have been astonishing considering they only joined the top flight last summer after Italy's football bosses decided to relegate both Genoa and Torino because of financial irregularities.Palermo have been disqualified from the UEFA Cup, they will need to pay more attention on Serie A now. They have sealed 3 straight victories and hope to secure a place in the European next socccer season. "GIVE" is preferable.
