Venue: Stadio Polisportivo Provinciale (7148 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie B, Trapani holding 19th place and Pescara lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

These teams have little in common geographically as Pescara have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Trapani are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Pescara are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Trapani form and stats

6 victories, 6 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Trapani have to build on here at Stadio Polisportivo Provinciale in the Serie B. Trapani are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

Trapani are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Pisa. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Benevento in a game that was won 2-0.

Heartbreak for Trapani in their last match as Pisa's M. Marconi scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

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 Trapani have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost four.

The manager F. Castori will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Perugia in only two days.

Trapani are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 24 goals in 17 games. Trapani have conceded 20 in these home matches.

Pescara form and stats

There's been little loot from Pescara's travels as they have only collected 16 points from 17 away games in the Serie B. Pescara only have 5 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 1 draw. Pescara have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.

Pescara delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Frosinone (placed 5th) in their previous match; a Serie B game. A 1-1 draw at Venezia's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Pescara playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were four Pescara wins, seven draws and six defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Pescara are hosting Livorno in the Serie B only two days away.

Pescara are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 17 games (in the league). In the opposite end, Pescara have conceded 30 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head
