Potenza Calcio form and stats

With 2 Serie C: Girone C wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Potenza Calcio are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Potenza haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 445 minutes ago. M. Ricci scored that one.

Potenza's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Foggia (placed 5th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Casertana (0-1).

The manager F. Gallo will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Teramo in only four days.

Potenza are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 11 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Ternana form and stats

The away performances of Ternana, who have the most scored goals (56) in Serie C: Girone C, have been very solid so far with 8 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats in the Serie C: Girone C. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. Things are running smoothly for Ternana who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 22 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Viterbese Castrense.

The supporters enjoyed Ternana's previous game versus Casertana (placed 9th), a Serie C: Girone C 5-1 win played at home. A 1-1 draw at Palermo's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, Ternana was the only team on the pitch versus Casertana in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Catania in just four days.

Ternana create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 27 goals in 10 travels. Ternana are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 9 times in 10 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
