Ternana form and stats

The season before, Ternana's league stats were 15 wins, 9 draws and 14 losses, resulting in 10th position in the Serie B. During these 38 matches they scored 58 goals and gave away 61. Appearing as the host team in the former season Ternana managed 9-2-8 (win-draw-lost) with 30 goals and 27 conceded.

The followers are hoping that Ternana will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the game against Ascoli (placed 5th). Favilli, an attacker, was the top performer for the team in that match, and was presented with a rating of 7.21 (out of 10). Favilli scored one goal.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Ternana matches with similar probabilities have ended with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat (from 6 games).

Reggina form and stats

Let's have a look at how Reggina performed last season in the Serie B: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 9 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 31 and conceded 49 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 7 and lost 8 with 12/25 goals scored/conceded. Only one away game in the Serie B so far for Reggina and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 4 victories, 7 draws and 8 losses from 19 travels.

Two away games in a row for Reggina, whose manager Inzaghi could celebrate last time after the win against SPAL. That victory felt good as this club had gone four league games without victory. Rivas, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.34. Rivas scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Reggina playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 0 away wins, 2 draws and 3 home wins.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Reggina has managed 3 goals and let in 1 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last eight matches): Ternana four wins, two draws and Reggina two victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less. The matches between these sides have sometimes been ill-tempered, having seen 7 sending-offs from the last eight encounters.
