Vicenza form and stats

Overall Serie B stats at home this season for Vicenza are 4-9-3 (wins-draw-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for Vicenza after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Vicenza lost their last game at Reggina (placed 10th) after a 0-3 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as Vicenza lost 1-2 at Ascoli's place.

The penalty miss from Stefano Giacomelli in the defeat against Reggina was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

The manager D. Di Carlo will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Virtus Entella in only three days.

The Vicenza fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 16 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 18 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
