It should be added that a peek at the 10 most recent league games shows that 8 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).

20 goals have been conceded.

Südtirol form and stats

As the visiting team matches, Südtirol, who have the most clean sheets (8) away in Serie B, have produced an overall stat of 7-5-3 so far. Südtirol are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.

Südtirol's previous game was their home loss versus Bari 1908 (0-1). That loss broke this club's string of league matches in a row without losing; twelve games in all! Südtirol were so close to getting something from the game against Bari 1908, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime. Vinetot, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.1. Vinetot won 3 of 4 duels.

Before that, Südtirol travelled to Cagliari and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Südtirol playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 4 Südtirol wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.

A tale of few goals? 9 of this club's latest 10 league matches have contained two or less goals.

Südtirol are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 13 times in 15 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
