Alessandria form and stats

It's not happening yet for Alessandria on their Serie B travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's looking increasingly bleak for Alessandria who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Pergolettese was the last time a defeat was avoided.

The manager M. Longo was unhappy after their last game, a Serie B match played at their home ground Stadio Giuseppe Moccagatta. Alessandria suffered a 1-3 loss to Brescia (placed 1st). Defender Matteo Di Gennaro was the best team player with a rating of 7.3. Gennaro won 12 of 17 duels.

Prior to that match, the Alessandria manager M. Longo faced defeat when travelling to Benevento and losing 3-4.

A new game in only three days for Alessandria, the Serie B home match versus Ascoli. Busy days.

Alessandria have the goal stats of 3-6 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
