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 Reggiana and Pordenone.

Relegation threatens Reggiana who should definitely be looking for some points here. Pordenone are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Reggiana form and stats

5 victories, 5 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Reggiana have to build on here at MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore in the Serie B. All in all it has been a very rough period for Reggiana who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Cittadella, 59 days ago.

In their previous game, the manager M. Alvini led his Reggiana to a defeat in the Serie B match away at Reggina. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore. Preceding that match was a defeat to Empoli (0-1).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Reggiana as they are travelling to their away game against Pescara in the Serie B. That match is three days after this one.

The Reggiana fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 17 matches. 21 goals have been conceded.
