“Since Roberto De Zerbi arrived, Palermo have really stepped up a gear,” said the Granata Coach in his Press conference.
“They’ll be eager to win, as they haven’t yet celebrated a victory or even scored at the Stadio Barbera. We’ll find a passionate atmosphere and a side that plays good football, presses and can cause us real problems.
“A lot depends on us, though, and we must go there to play our game with the three points at stake. It’s tough to win, but even harder to confirm yourself at that level.
“If we want to fight for a Europa League place, we must improve our performances away from home and become truly consistent. Every opponent has its dangerous side and we must show the same hunger and spirit that allowed us to win two games before the break for international duty.
“We know fixtures after a break are always a little tricky, while it’s even worse for us because everyone expects to see the same Toro that beat Roma and Fiorentina, so we must find that same motivation.”
International duty was a confidence-booster for Torino striker Belotti, who got his first senior Italy goal in a 3-2 victory at Macedonia, and England goalkeeper Hart.
“They are two important players and the performances for their countries did them the world of good. Hopefully they can repeat them for us,” added Mihajlovic.
The good news for Toro is that only Cristian Molinaro and Danilo Avelar are still on the treatment table, because Adem Ljajic and Afriyie Acquah are fully recovered.
