Pescara and Perugia have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie B.

Pescara form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, Pescara have managed 6 wins, 6 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 16 games.

The fans are hoping that Pescara will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Serie B game against Cremonese (placed 15th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Empoli.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Pescara have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 16 matches with the results: Won four, drawn seven and lost five.

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

A decent goal production from Pescara in their home games so far, with 27 goals from 16 league matches. 20 goals have been conceded.

Perugia form and stats

Perugia have only collected 15 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 4-3-8 (15 played).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie B home defeat versus Pordenone with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 0-2 defeat away at Cittadella before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Perugia playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were two Perugia wins, three draws and nine defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Perugia manager S. Cosmi as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Cosenza.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Perugia as they have only managed to score 13 times from 15 away games in the league. As for defending, Perugia rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 23 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Perugia - Pescara 3-1 played earlier this season. Pescara-Perugia H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Pescara three wins, Perugia four wins, three draws. eight of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
