Sorrento form and stats

Sorrento, who have the the worst goal difference (-5) at home in Serie D: Girone H, have collected 10 points from their Serie D: Girone H home games so far after 3-1-3. Sorrento has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Sorrento, their manager and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 254 minutes without scoring a league goal. V. Liccardi was the last player to find the net.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Città di Fasano (0-4).

The Sorrento fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. Sorrento are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (14 from 7 played).
