Pescara form and stats

Pescara's results here at Stadio Adriatico-Giovanni Cornacchia in the Serie B have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats. Pescara has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager R. Breda and the players.

Pescara faced defeat in their previous match, away at Chievo (1-3). Prior to that, an away loss at Salernitana.

This is expected to be a close game, with Pescara perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pescara as a small favourite), we find 18 games. Pescara has won five of these, drawn eight and lost five.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Pescara as they are travelling to their away game against Empoli in the Serie B. That match is three days after this one.

Pescara has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Pescara defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Reggina form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Reggina so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-4 (win-draw-lose).

Reggina's last game was the home draw against Salernitana (0-0). Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Frosinone.

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

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Virtus Entella in just four days.

The attacking power of Reggina when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 10 league matches away. As for defending, Reggina rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 15 goals from these away matches.
