Vicenza form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie B matches, Vicenza have produced an overall stat of 5-4-5 so far.

Vicenza might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Empoli proved too strong as Vicenza slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Romeo Menti. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Chievo.

Vicenza goalkeeper Matteo Grandi had a great day against Empoli, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.
