Ternana form and stats

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Cosenza.

It's interesting to look at how Ternana have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won eight times, drawn three and lost four.

The Ternana fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 15 matches. Ternana's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 19 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Alessandria form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Alessandria so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-10 (win-draw-lose). Alessandria are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Benevento fixture.

Alessandria aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 273 league minutes without a goal. Casarini was the last player to find the net.

Alessandria failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Monza (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 0-3. The attacker Fabbrini got a match rating of 6.8 in that game. Fabbrini dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 35 successful passes (of 41 total).

Prior to that match, the Alessandria manager Longo faced defeat when travelling to Frosinone and losing 0-3.

Alessandria are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, three draws and two defeats. From a total of eight matches.

Alessandria have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 15 league away games 16 goals have been scored.
