Season ticket holders at Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Cosenza languishing in the 19th position so far. The guesting Virtus Entella will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Virtus Entella's home stadium. The visitors last 38 games on grass have ended in 10 wins, 12 draws and 16 losses.
Virtus Entella have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Cosenza form and stats
With 2 Serie B wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Cosenza are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's been an uphill battle for Cosenza in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Empoli game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
In their previous game, the manager G. Pillon led his Cosenza to a defeat in the Serie B match away at Chievo. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla. Before that game, the home loss against Cittadella with the scoreline 1-2.
This is expected to be a close game, with Cosenza perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cosenza as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Cosenza has won five of these, drawn six and lost three.
Cosenza aren't scoring a lot here at Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla in the league, with only 10 goals from 13 games. Cosenza's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Entella delivered their win in the match against Ascoli already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance!
