Cosenza form and stats

With 0 Serie B wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Cosenza, who have the fewest scored goals (13) in Serie B, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Cosenza shared the glory with Monza in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Before that game, the home loss against Empoli with the scoreline 0-2.

Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Monza last time out, but a goal from Luca Tremolada completed a comeback to a draw result for Cosenza. The hometeam coach R.
