Salernitana form and stats
The story so far in the Serie B for Salernitana at their home stadium (Stadio Arechi) is 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat. Salernitana are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
Salernitana drew their last game, 1-1 away at Benevento (placed 1st). Ahead of that match, Salernitana won a home game hosting Cosenza (2-1).
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 Salernitana have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost one.
A decent goal production from Salernitana in their home games so far, with 18 goals from 10 league matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
Trapani form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Trapani, who have the most conceded goals (41) in Serie B, so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-6 (win-draw-lose).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie B home defeat versus Cittadella with 0-3 on the scoreboard. Before that, Trapani travelled to Venezia and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
Trapani are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and one defeat. From a total of four matches.
Trapani find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 11 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. The Trapani manager F. Castori has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
