Perugia form and stats

Perugia have collected 12 points from their Serie B home games so far after 3-3-4.

A good away victory last time out for Perugia, who won 2-0 against Bari 1908 (placed 5th). Rosi was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.6 out of 10. The defender Rosi served one assist, hit one key pass and won 7 of 11 duels.

Heartbreak before that as Perugia lost 0-2 at Parma's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Perugia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Perugia as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Perugia has won 2 of these, drawn 4 and lost 4.

Trouble hitting the net? Looking at this team's last 12 league games, 9 have seen two goals or less.

On the other hand, Perugia have conceded 14 goals. Perugia has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Brescia form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Brescia so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-5 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for Brescia as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Palermo match.

Home advantage was not enough for Brescia in their previous game as they lost hosting Como, 0-1. It's a bit worrying for Brescia that their goalie Andrenacci pulled off six saves in the Como match, but still couldn't prevent a loss.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Frosinone.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Brescia playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were 5 Brescia wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats.

A tale of few goals? 11 of this side's latest 13 league matches have seen zero, one or two goals.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Brescia rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 18 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

These competitors have met earlier this season: Brescia - Perugia 2-1. Head to head numbers (for the previous ten meetings): Perugia won three games, one match ended in a draw and Brescia got six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four.
