Brescia form and stats

The story so far in the Serie B for Brescia at their home stadium (Stadio Mario Rigamonti) is 7 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats.

The fans are hoping that Brescia will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-4 away loss in the Serie B game against Empoli (placed 1st). Before that, Brescia drew at home versus Pescara.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Jesse Joronen had a busy but productive day in the Empoli match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented.

This is expected to be a close game, with Brescia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Brescia as a small favourite), we find three games. Brescia has won two of these, drawn one and lost zero.

The manager J. Clotet Ruiz will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Vicenza in only three days.

The Brescia fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 29 goals in 17 league matches. Brescia's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 23 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

SPAL form and stats

Playing away, SPAL have won 5 games, drawn 8 and suffered 4 defeats in the Serie B this season.

SPAL might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Ascoli proved too strong as SPAL slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Paolo Mazza. Prior to that result SPAL won their away game at Lecce. The scoreline was 2-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with SPAL playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were zero SPAL wins, two draws and three defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Frosinone in just three days.

The attacking power of SPAL when travelling is not overwhelming with 16 goals scored from 17 league matches away. 19 goals have been conceded by SPAL in these games.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the SPAL - Brescia 2-3 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: three - zero - two (Brescia wins - draws - SPAL wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
