Catania form and stats
Catania have collected 16 points from their Serie C: Girone C home games so far after 4-4-1.
The Catania supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Foggia in Serie C: Girone C and win 2-1. A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Casertana.
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 Catania have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won eight times, drawn two and lost zero.
There will be little rest for Catania after this match as they are travelling to Juve Stabia for a Serie C: Girone C game in only three days.
The Catania fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 9 matches. Catania are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio Angelo Massimino in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 9 matches.
Monopoli form and stats
3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Monopoli playing as the away team in the Serie C: Girone C this season.
Impressive finishing from C. Bunino, E. Starita (2) and L. Paolucci secured the home win 4-2 against Juve Stabia in their previous game. A draw for Monopoli before that, at their own venue hosting Catanzaro (1-1).
What a finish in the last match, as Monopoli came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through E. Starita's goal in the 90th minute. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Monopoli, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
We have checked recent matches where Monopoli have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were two victories, zero draws and seven defeats.
The visiting Monopoli have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 10 goals from 9 games. Monopoli have conceded 14 goals in these games.
