Imolese form and stats

With 3 Serie C: Girone B wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Imolese, who have the fewest scored goals (14) at home in Serie C: Girone B, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.

In their previous game, the manager P. Catalano led his Imolese to a defeat in the Serie C: Girone B match away at Vis Pesaro. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Romeo Galli. Before that game, the home loss against Perugia with the scoreline 0-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Imolese have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost two.

Imolese have scored 14 league goals here from 17 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Imolese have conceded 22 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Ravenna form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ravenna, who have the fewest scored goals (27) in Serie C: Girone B, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-13 (win-draw-lose). Ravenna are desperate to end a 18-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Imolese fixture. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Ravenna have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 17 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Legnago Salus game.

Ravenna delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Cesena (placed 8th) in their previous match; a Serie C: Girone B game. A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Fermana.

It looked so good for Ravenna vs Cesena, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

Ravenna are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and eight defeats. From a total of nine matches.

The attacking power of Ravenna when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 17 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Ravenna manager L. Colucci has some worries about the defense as 37 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Ravenna - Imolese 3-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Imolese, seven draws and two wins for Ravenna. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
