Serie B: We're previewing an absorbing and key match involving Cosenza and Vicenza at Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla. Both need the points!

Insights:
  • Cosenza have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Vicenza have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

Cosenza is in the 16th league table position and will remain there regardless of what happens for the rest of the season. Vicenza are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

These teams have little in common geographically as Vicenza have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both sides have had enough days rest since their previous match. Let's agree to expect an active match!
