Pescara form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie B this season. Pescara, who have the fewest scored goals (20) in Serie B, have only managed 2 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Stadio Adriatico-Giovanni Cornacchia.

Pescara enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Cittadella's place. The match ended 1-0 with Jens Odgaard scoring. Before that, Pescara drew at home versus Lecce.

Some amazing scenes last match, when Jens Odgaard scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time.

Pescara aren't scoring a lot here at Stadio Adriatico-Giovanni Cornacchia in the league, with only 11 goals from 13 games. 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. 20 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

SPAL form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 3 wins, 7 draws and 3 defeats. It's been quite a sequence of draws for SPAL when traveling as their last four away games have all ended all square. Not since the Frosinone match has the points been distributed unevenly.

SPAL has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Salernitana for a Serie B game that ended a draw (0-0). A loss against Reggina was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The attacking power of SPAL when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 13 league matches away. SPAL have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; SPAL - Pescara 2-0.
