It's the first match of the new campaign for Sestri Levante and Pineto. The canvas is empty, the possibilities endless.
Pineto could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Coppa Italia Serie D game only three sleeps ago.
Sestri Levante form and stats
Disaster struck Sestri Levante last season as they could not defend their status as a Serie D: Girone A team. With 12 defeats from 38 games, and only 13 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Sestri Levante are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W6 D8 L5.
This is expected to be a close game, with Sestri Levante perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Levante as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Sestri Levante has won 6 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sestri Levante as they are travelling to their away game against Pineto in the Serie D: Playoffs. That match is four days after this one.
Pineto form and stats
A job perfectly done for Pineto last season as they secured promotion from Serie D: Girone F. With a grand total of 13 wins, 13 draws and 8 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 8 were in away matches.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Pineto playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 4 Pineto wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats.
A new game in only four days for Pineto, the Serie D: Playoffs home match versus Sestri Levante. Busy days.
