Potenza Calcio form and stats

4-6-7 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie C: Girone C numbers at home for Potenza Calcio so far this season. Potenza are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadio Comunale Alfredo Viviani, having lost their two previous games here.

No payout for Potenza in their previous match, an away game at Catania that ended in defeat 2-5. Preceding that match was a defeat to Juve Stabia (0-2).

A goal frenzy last time out for Potenza Calcio, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Catania. Fun stuff to watch!

The Potenza Calcio fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 17 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Potenza defense is not exactly impregnable. 26 goals conceded from 17 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
