The story so far in the Serie B for Cosenza at their home stadium (Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla) is 5 wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats. With a nice streak brewing from their home games, Cosenza are also looking for their fifth consecutive victory regardless of location.

Juve Stabia form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Juve Stabia so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-11 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Stabia have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Chievo game.
