Vicenza and Cosenza have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie B.

Insights:
  • Vicenza have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Cosenza has the fewest matches over the total-line (1) in Serie B

Vicenza have less rest than Cosenza in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie B game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Monza, so at least Vicenza are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Cosenza have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Vicenza form and stats

Vicenza have played three Serie B home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. The Vicenza fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Stadio Romeo Menti and will expect new points from this game. Vicenza has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.

Vicenza travelled for their previous game, a trip to Monza that ended 1-1. Preceding that game was the away draw at Empoli that finished 2-2.

The Vicenza goalkeeper Pietro Perina was crucial in the match against Monza last time out, making six saves.

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

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (6 in 3 games), Vicenza's attacking play is working. Vicenza have conceded 6 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Cosenza form and stats

1-2-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Cosenza in their Serie B matches away.

Cosenza failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie B home match vs Salernitana (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-1. It was a Coppa Italia defeat before that one as the away game against Parma 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 Cosenza playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were three Cosenza wins, four draws and four defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Cosenza as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).
