Ternana form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ternana so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-7 (win-draw-lose).

Ternana might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Cittadella proved too strong as Ternana slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Libero Liberati. Ternana were so close to getting something from the game against Cittadella, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime. Palumbo, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.4. Palumbo hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Perugia wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Ternana have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were 2 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats.

Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Ternana have conceded 23 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
