Pescara form and stats

With 2 Serie B wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Pescara, who have the most conceded goals (39) in Serie B, are certainly not brimming with confidence. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Pescara, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Pescara travelled for their previous game, a trip to Empoli that ended 2-2. Preceding that match was the home game against Reggina that was lost 0-2.

A painful moment in the game against Empoli was the missed penalty kick from José Machín in the 79th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

Pescara have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 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. 17 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
