This could be an interesting match as Perugia have their presumed home advantage while Virtus Entella are ahead 2 points in the Serie B table.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Virtus Entella have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 9-12-15 (win-draw-loss) from 36 matches.
