Reggiana form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Reggiana, who have the the worst goal difference (-14) away in Serie B, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-6 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Reggiana have lost on their last two travels.

Reggiana are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Serie B against Vicenza (placed 12th). A 0-2 defeat away at SPAL before that.

The attacking power of Reggiana when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 9 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Reggiana manager M. Alvini has some worries about the defense as 20 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Reggiana - Pisa 2-2. Pisa-Reggiana H2H statistics last five meetings regardless of arena: Pisa one win, Reggiana one win, three draws. two of these five matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
