Castellanzese form and stats

There's been little loot from Castellanzese's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 7 away games in the Serie D: Girone B. Castellanzese only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie D: Girone B home defeat versus Real Calepina with 0-2 on the scoreboard.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Breno.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Castellanzese playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and two home wins.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Villa d'Almè in just four days.

The attacking power of Castellanzese when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Castellanzese have conceded 11 goals in these games.
