Brescia form and stats

Brescia have played 15 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-7-3 (wins-draws-losses). The last three games played by Brescia, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Brescia shared the glory with Pordenone in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Midfield player Bisoli got a match rating of 8.43 in that game, the max score being 10. Bisoli served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Benevento.

There will be little rest for Brescia after this match as they are travelling to Pisa for a Serie B game in only three days.

The Brescia fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 23 goals in 15 league matches. More than 50 percent of these goals (12 in all) were scored after at least one hour had been played. 19 goals have been conceded. 10 of these goals came after the timer had passed one hour (more than 50 %).

Vicenza form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vicenza so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-11 (win-draw-lose). Vicenza seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The fans enjoyed Vicenza's previous match versus Ascoli (placed 8th), a 2-0 win played at home. Grandi (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.61. Grandi topped it up with a clean sheet.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Parma.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Vicenza playing away, we found four games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and three home wins.

A new game in only three days for Vicenza, the Serie B home match versus Crotone. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vicenza as they have only managed to score 13 times from 15 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Vicenza has visited these top teams four times, and 3 of 4 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

Vicenza - Brescia 2-3 was the result in these squads' previous head to head match, earlier this season. Stats for the former ten meetings featuring these two contenders are: five wins for Brescia, one draw and four wins for Vicenza. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
