Cosenza form and stats

Two Serie B home games so far for Cosenza, who are yet to win here at Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla. Only 2 points so far. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Cosenza has four draws from their last four matches. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Cosenza shared the glory with Reggina in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. In the match before that, Cosenza hosted Cittadella and drew the game 1-1.

The Cosenza goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone was crucial in the match against Reggina last time out, making 13 saves.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Cosenza as they have a new game in only three days, a Coppa Italia match thankfully also at home. Monopoli are visiting.

Cosenza has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Coppa Italia trip to Torino.

It's early days yet, but Lecce has scored 2 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
