With their 23 point advantage in the league table, Chievo fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Livorno.

Chievo form and stats

The story so far in the Serie B for Chievo at their home stadium (Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi) is 6 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

The Chievo goalkeeper Adrian Semper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 214 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie B.

Chievo are returning here after visiting Pordenone in a Serie B game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Luca Garritano scored the goal(s). Ahead of that match, Chievo won a home game hosting Salernitana (2-0).

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).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Chievo as they are travelling to their away game against Ascoli in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.

The Chievo fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 18 goals in 12 league matches. Chievo have conceded 12 in these home matches.

Livorno form and stats

There's been little loot from Livorno's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 13 away games in the Serie B. Livorno only have 0 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 4 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Livorno have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 13 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Virtus Entella game. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Livorno, who have now gone 14 games without a victory. The Juve Stabia game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

M. Marras was the last player to score for the away team. Livorno haven't scored a league goal in the last 203 minutes.

Livorno lost away at Salernitana (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Cosenza.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Livorno when being an outsider away as they are today, we find eight matches with the visitors losing six times, drawing one and winning one game.

After this away game Livorno return home for a Serie B game against Frosinone. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Livorno are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 5 goals from 13 away games. As opposed to that, Livorno have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Livorno - Chievo 3-4. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: nine wins for Chievo, one draw and zero wins for Livorno. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
