Competition: Tue 22.February
Match begins: 20:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Giovanni Paolo II (2000 seats)

A home victory is expected from this fixture if the league table is to be trusted. The Virtus Francavilla regulars are confident that the gulf between 4th and Fidelis Andria's 19th position in the table will show on the pitch.

Insights:
  • Virtus Francavilla have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
  • Fidelis Andria have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Serie C: Girone C

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Francavilla and Fidelis Andria.

Virtus Francavilla form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadio Giovanni Paolo II as Virtus Francavilla have scored 27 goals to get 32 points from 13 games. The overall stats in the Serie C: Girone C are 10-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). After failing to beat Turris here at Stadio Giovanni Paolo II, Virtus Francavilla has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.

Virtus Francavilla lost their last game at Catania (placed 11th) after a 0-1 scoreline.

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Avellino.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Francavilla as they have a new game in only four days, a Serie C: Girone C match thankfully also at home. Palermo are visiting.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (27 in 13 games), Virtus Francavilla's attacking play is working. From these home matches, Virtus Francavilla have conceded only 8 goals.

Fidelis Andria form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fidelis Andria so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-7 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Fidelis Andria, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The ACR Messina game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Fidelis lost away at Avellino (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

A draw for Fidelis Andria before that, at their own venue hosting Potenza Calcio (1-1).

A new game in only four days for Fidelis, the Serie C: Girone C home match versus Taranto. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Fidelis Andria as they have only managed to score 11 times from 13 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 18 goals have been conceded by Fidelis in these games.

Head 2 Head

It's not the first time these parties face each other this campaign, as the records show this recent fixture: Fidelis Andria - Virtus Francavilla 0-1. Data for the previous two meetings between these two sides are: one win for Virtus Francavilla, zero draws and one win for Fidelis Andria. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
