An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie B, with both Pescara and Perugia experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 17th place.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Pescara can neither be promoted or relegated from Serie B. Perugia is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Perugia form and stats

Perugia have only collected 19 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 5-4-10 (19 played).

There might be some fixture complaints from Perugia as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Serie B match against Venezia (1-3). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Trapani.

After this away game Perugia return home for a Serie B game against Pescara. That game is only four sleeps after this.
