Pescara form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 5 wins, 0 draws and 9 defeats. It's all red in the travel logs of Pescara, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

Pescara are looking to quickly end their 190 minutes long goal drought in the Serie B.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Pescara, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Benevento (placed 1st). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Spezia wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Benevento was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. It's a bit worrying for Pescara that their goalkeeper Vincenzo Fiorillo made six saves in the Benevento game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Pescara have scored 15 goals in 14 league games away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Pescara have conceded 26 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
