Perugia form and stats

Perugia have played 13 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-5-4 (wins-draws-losses).

The regulars are hoping that Perugia will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Brescia (placed 2nd). Luca, who plays in attack, was the highest rated player for the team in that fixture, earning a rating of 8.02 (out of 10). Luca scored one goal and hit three key passes.

Ahead of that match, Perugia lost 0-1 at home to Benevento.

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

Perugia are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio Renato Curi in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 11 from 13 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
