Brescia form and stats

Brescia's struggle is real here at Stadio Mario Rigamonti with only 4 points collected from 9 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-7. Brescia are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadio Mario Rigamonti, having lost their two previous games here.

In their previous game, the manager E. Corini led his Brescia to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Sampdoria. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Mario Rigamonti. Preceding that match was the home game against Lazio that was lost 1-2.

Brescia were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Brescia have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won 4 Drawn 2 Lost 2.
