25 points separate the teams so far this season, Gozzano having performed best. Can Derthona strike back?

Insights:
  • Derthona have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This pitch has grass, which is not Gozzano's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Gozzano have performed like this: Played 40 matches resulting in 9 wins, 16 draws and 15 defeats with the goal stats 40-49 (scored/conceded).

Derthona form and stats

Overall Serie D: Girone A stats at home this season for Derthona are 6-4-6 (wins-draw-losses). Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Derthona lost their last game at Castellanzese (placed 3rd) after a 2-3 scoreline. A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Castellanzese) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3. Heartbreak for Derthona in their last match as Castellanzese's M. Chessa scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Saluzzo.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Derthona, as the Serie D: Girone A home game vs Bra is only four days away.

Derthona are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 16 games. 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.

Gozzano form and stats

The visitors are W7-D5-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Serie D: Girone A.

Gozzano delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Città di Varese (placed 16th) in their previous match; a Serie D: Girone A game.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Borgosesia at their stadium, the result 1-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Gozzano manager A. Soda as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Caronnese.

Gozzano have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 15 league away games 22 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Gozzano have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Gozzano - Derthona 1-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Derthona, two draws and five wins for Gozzano. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
