Südtirol have played 14 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-8-2 (wins-draws-losses). Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

A strong away win for Südtirol against Benevento the last match, as Cissé and Belardinelli were on target. Finally, a league victory after three matches without one.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Palermo.

It should be added that a peek at the 12 latest league games reveals that 9 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored).

Südtirol has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. Südtirol have conceded 15 in these home matches.
