Pordenone form and stats

The story so far in the Serie B for Pordenone at their home stadium (Stadio Guido Teghil) is 2 wins, 8 draws and 3 defeats.

Stress levels are on the rise for Pordenone's attacking players as they have now played 259 minutes without scoring in a league game. P. Ciurria was their last goal scorer.

No payout for Pordenone in their previous match, an away game at Monza that ended in defeat 0-2. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Chievo.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Pordenone have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won seven times, drawn five and lost two.

There will be little rest for Pordenone after this match as they are travelling to Empoli for a Serie B game in only three days.

The Pordenone fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Pordenone have conceded 15 in these home matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Pescara are hosting Ascoli in the Serie B only three days away.
