The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie B this season. Pordenone have only managed 0 wins, 6 draws and 0 losses from their games here at Stadio Comunale G.Teghil. The home supporters have been following results with a growing disbelief as Pordenone has racked up an amazing six draws in a row here at their own stadium. How long will this continue?
