Pescara form and stats

Pescara have collected 4 points from their Serie B home games so far after 1-1-3.

It's back home for Pescara, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Ascoli away with the result 2-0. Cristian Galano and Damir Ceter found the net in that victory. Before that game, the home loss against Pordenone with the scoreline 0-2.

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 16 games. Pescara has won five of these, drawn seven and lost four.

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

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Pescara here at Stadio Adriatico-Giovanni Cornacchia in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 5 games). 7 goals have been conceded.
