Cosenza form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, Cosenza have managed 5 wins, 2 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 13 games.

Stress levels are on the rise for Cosenza's attacking players as they have now played 189 minutes without scoring in a league game. Larrivey was their last goal scorer.

Cosenza are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Ternana. Midfielder Šitum was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.03 (out of ten) in that game. Šitum hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 50 successful passes (of 55 total).

Heartbreak before that as Cosenza lost 0-1 at Frosinone's place.

On the other hand, Cosenza have conceded 15 goals.
