Ternana form and stats

All-inclusive Serie B stats at home this season for Ternana are 6-4-2 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager Andreazzoli led his Ternana to a defeat away at Perugia. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Libero Liberati. The first setback in the shape of a loss after going undefeated through three league matches. Iannarilli had a busy but productive day in the Perugia match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.

In the match before that, Ternana hosted Parma and drew the game 1-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ternana have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 11 matches with the results: Won 8, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Ternana are traveling soon after this match as the Serie B match at Palermo awaits in three days.

Cittadella won their last game, 3-2 versus Reggina played at home. An amazing comeback from Cittadella last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to Carriero scoring the winning goal in the 86th minute. Carriero came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Reggina last time out, making the manager Gorini feel like a tactical genius.
