Ternana form and stats

Three Serie B home games done for Ternana, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.

The Ternana supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Parma in Serie B and win 3-1. Defender Frederik Sørensen got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.22/10. Sørensen scored one goal and won 4 of 7 duels.

1-1 away at Monza before that.

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

The Ternana fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Ternana with 7 goals conceded in these matches.

SPAL form and stats

No Serie B points yet away for SPAL, from their first 2 matches. SPAL seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The supporters enjoyed SPAL's previous game versus Vicenza (placed 19th), a Serie B 3-2 win played at home. Midfielder Federico Viviani was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.24. Viviani scored one goal, hit three key passes and had 41 successful passes (of 42 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Reggina wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with SPAL playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were zero SPAL wins, two draws and five defeats.

SPAL have the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
