Pescara form and stats

A Serie B draw at home so far for Pescara. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 8 draws and 4 defeats from 19 matches.

Pescara are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Reggina. Before that, Pescara drew at home versus San Nicolo (after extra-time, 8-7 on penalties).

The penalty miss from Cristian Galano in the defeat against Reggina was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

Pescara are traveling soon after this match as the Serie B match at Venezia awaits in two days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Pescara at home in the league. 0 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
