Südtirol form and stats

4-7-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Südtirol so far this season.

Südtirol drew their last game, 0-0 away at Cosenza (placed 20th). Südtirol's goalie Poluzzi played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Cosenza with a stunning seven saves. Poluzzi, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 9.13 out of 10 in that game. Poluzzi saved a penalty and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Como that ended 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Südtirol perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Südtirol as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Südtirol has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.

It should be considered that a peek at the 10 most recent league fixtures shows that 8 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored).

The manager Bisoli will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Benevento in only four days.

The Südtirol fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 13 matches. Südtirol's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 14 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
