Chievo form and stats

Chievo have collected 17 points from their Serie B home games so far after 5-2-2. Chievo has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Frosinone defeat 57 days ago. Two home wins in a row for Chievo bring valid hopes of a third.

Chievo's previous game was a Serie B match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Cittadella (placed 4th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that, Chievo played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Ascoli.

Manager A. Aglietti felt very clever after Massimo Bertagnoli scored the winning goal against Cittadella, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 68th minute.

A decent goal production from Chievo in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 9 league matches. From these home matches, Chievo have conceded only 8 goals.

Pescara form and stats

Pescara, who have the the worst goal difference (-17) in Serie B, have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 2-1-6 (9 played).

Pescara aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 184 league minutes without a goal. G. Scognamiglio was the last player to find the net.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Pescara, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Salernitana (placed 3rd). A loss against Cremonese was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The attacking power of Pescara when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 9 league matches away. In the opposite end, Pescara have conceded 17 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Pescara - Chievo 0-0. Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Chievo, two draws and one win for Pescara. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: nine games.
