This could be an interesting match as Perugia have their presumed home advantage while Pordenone are ahead 9 points in the Serie B table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Perugia and Pordenone.
Perugia form and stats
Perugia have collected 25 points from their Serie B home games so far after 7-4-5.
H. Nicolussi was the last player to score a league goal for Perugia and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Perugia haven't scored in 198 minutes.
Perugia lost their last game at Cittadella (placed 3rd) after a 0-2 scoreline. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Crotone that ended 0-0.
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 ten games. Perugia has won two of these, drawn two and lost six.
The Perugia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 16 matches. Perugia have only conceded 15 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Pordenone form and stats
There's been little loot from Pordenone's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 15 away games in the Serie B. Pordenone only have 4 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws.
Pordenone had fun at their own home (Stadio Renato Curi) last time out, beating Virtus Entella 2-0. Alberto Barison and Davide Mazzocco scored. A 0-3 defeat away at Trapani before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Pordenone playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were three Pordenone wins, four draws and six defeats.
Pordenone have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 15 league away games 17 goals have been scored. Pordenone's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 28 goals from these trips.
