Virtus Entella form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Virtus Entella, who have the most conceded goals (44) in Serie B, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-7 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Entella, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

There were no winners in Entella's previous match, a Serie B home game that ended 1-1 vs Brescia (placed 16th). A 2-3 defeat away at Venezia before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Entella are hosting Ascoli in the Serie B only four days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Entella as they have only managed to score 10 times from 12 away games in the league. Entella's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.

H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Lecce two wins, one draw and Virtus Entella zero victories.
