Perugia will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 9 points behind Salernitana.
It's no vacation for neither Perugia nor Salernitana as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Perugia form and stats
The story so far in the Serie B for Perugia at their home stadium (Stadio Renato Curi) is 6 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats. It's trouble wherever Perugia are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. With Perugia having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager S. Cosmi.
Perugia's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Benevento (placed 1st). Prior to that, an away loss at Pisa.
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.
Perugia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 14 games. Perugia have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Salernitana form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Salernitana so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 4-2-8 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Salernitana have lost on their last two travels.
Andreas Karo and Sofian Kiyine scored in Salernitana's previous match, the home game against Venezia that ended 2-0. A 0-1 defeat away at Frosinone before that.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Salernitana in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Salernitana, three draws and five defeats.
Salernitana are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 14 away goals from 14 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Salernitana have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Salernitana - Perugia 1-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Perugia won two games, six matches ended with a draw and Salernitana has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / fiveTop Goalscorers
