Pordenone perform at a high level so far being 6th in the table. Virtus Entella can look both up and down from their 9th position.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Pordenone and Virtus Entella.
9-12-17 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Virtus Entella when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 38 matches are 43-49 (scored/conceded).
Pordenone form and stats
Pordenone are steadily winning Serie B games and points here at Stadio Nereo Rocco. 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 15 games.
Stress levels are on the rise for Pordenone's attacking players as they have now played 192 minutes without scoring in a league game. P. Ciurria was their last goal scorer.
Pordenone lost their last game at Trapani (placed 19th) after a 0-3 scoreline. Before that, Pordenone drew at home versus Venezia.
This is expected to be a close game, with Pordenone perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pordenone as a small favourite), we find seven games. Pordenone has won five of these, drawn one and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Pordenone as they are travelling to their away game against Perugia in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.
Pordenone has scored 20 league goals at home this season, in 15 matches. From these home matches, Pordenone have conceded only 9 goals.
Virtus Entella form and stats
There's been little loot from Virtus Entella's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 15 away games in the Serie B. Virtus Entella only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 4 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Entella are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Entella had fun at their own home (Stadio Nereo Rocco) last time out, beating Salernitana 1-0. Luca Mazzitelli scored. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Cosenza's place.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Virtus Entella playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were one Entella win, five draws and four defeats.
A new game in only four days for Entella, the Serie B home match versus Chievo. Busy days.
Virtus Entella have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 15 league away games 20 goals have been scored. Entella's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 27 goals from these trips.
