Chievo form and stats

The seven points Chievo have gathered from their first three away trips in the Serie B is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Chievo hope to make it five in this match. Chievo has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Chievo had fun at their own home (Stadio Comunale G.Teghil) last time out, beating Cosenza 2-0. Maxime Leverbe and Luca Garritano scored. Prior to that result Chievo won their away game at Monza. The scoreline was 2-1.

Chievo have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. The Chievo defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 3 games).

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Pordenone, one draw and one win for Chievo. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
