Reggiana form and stats
Reggiana, who have the the worst goal difference (-9) away in Serie B, have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 2-0-4 (6 played).
There might be some fixture complaints from Reggiana as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Serie B match against Brescia (1-3). A 1-2 loss hosting Frosinone before that.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.

Reggiana have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 6 league away games 6 goals have been scored. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Reggiana's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 15 goals in 6 travels.
