Insights:
  • Foggia have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Casertana haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.

Casertana could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie C: Girone C game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Juve Stabia, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Casertana.

Foggia form and stats

Foggia have played 8 Serie C: Girone C games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Foggia manager M. Marchionni and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Bisceglie (placed 17th) in the Serie C: Girone C. Heartbreak before that as Foggia lost 1-2 at Catania's place.

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 Foggia have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won three times, drawn six and lost one.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie C: Girone C game versus Teramo in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadio Comunale Pino Zaccheria.

Foggia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. 9 goals have been conceded.
