It's still early in the Serie B season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Chievo - Cosenza preview!
The visiting Cosenza played their last game only three days ago, a Coppa Italia match.
These teams have little in common geographically as Cosenza have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Chievo form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Chievo's two home games in the Serie B so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.
A good away victory last time out for Chievo, who won 2-1 against Monza (placed 15th). Ahead of that match, Chievo won a home game hosting Brescia (1-0).
Mattia Viviani was sent off in the Monza game, in the 83rd minute when Chievo were losing. Miraculously the team were able to turn the game around despite the red card, winning 2-1 in the end.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Chievo matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, zero draws and zero defeats (from two games).
At Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi, Chievo has the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Cosenza form and stats
Things could have gone better for Cosenza in their Serie B away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. Cosenza has showed their ability to avoid defeat with five draws in a row, but are also dodging victories. They last avoided the draw 35 days ago, in the Virtus Entella fixture. Cosenza has drawn their two previous away games.
Cosenza won their last game, 2-1 versus Monopoli played at home. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Lecce.
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 Cosenza playing away, we found two games. Results were one away win, one draw and zero home wins.
It's early days yet, but Cosenza has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last two meetings): Chievo won one game, one match ended with a draw and Cosenza has zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: zero / twoTop Goalscorers
