Livorno form and stats

Overall Serie B stats at home this season for Livorno are 3-0-5 (wins-draw-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Livorno to get some points in this home game. Livorno are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Armando Picchi, having lost their two previous games here.

In their previous game, the manager P. Tramezzani led his Livorno to a defeat in the Serie B match away at Crotone. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Armando Picchi. Preceding that match was the home game against Benevento that was lost 0-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Livorno perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Livorno as a small favourite), we find nine games. Livorno has won 4 of these, drawn 1 and lost 4.

There will be little rest for Livorno after this match as they are travelling to Empoli for a Serie B game in only three days.

Livorno has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Livorno defense is not exactly impregnable. 14 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Pescara form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 3 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Pescara are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

There were no winners in Pescara's previous match, a Serie B home game that ended 1-1 vs Trapani (placed 19th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Frosinone wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Pescara playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were 3 Pescara wins, 7 draws and 7 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Pescara are hosting Chievo in the Serie B only three days away.

Pescara have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. Pescara have conceded 14 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Livorno won 4, Pescara won 4 and 2 draws. 6 games with over 2,5 goals, 4 matches with two goals or less.
