Vicenza form and stats

Vicenza are yet to produce one single Serie B point here at Stadio Paolo Mazza, to the disappointment of their supporters. All 4 matches have been lost. The home stadium (Stadio Paolo Mazza) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Vicenza it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Stress levels are on the rise for Vicenza's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. A. Taugourdeau was their last goal scorer.

Vicenza lost their last game at Ternana (placed 9th) after a 0-5 scoreline. As you see from the result above, Vicenza suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Midfield player Filippo Ranocchia got a match rating of 7.42 in that game, the max score being 10. Ranocchia hit the woodwork once, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 37 successful passes (of 46 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Reggina (0-1).

Vicenza has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 4 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.

Monza form and stats

The visitors are W0-D3-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B.

Monza have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio. It's been 200 minutes since they last conceded in Serie B.

The supporters enjoyed Monza's previous game versus Cittadella (placed 12th), a Serie B 1-0 win played at home. Marco D'Alessandro came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Cittadella last time out, making the manager G. Stroppa feel like a tactical genius. The end of the last match, against Cittadella, was very satisfying as Marco D'Alessandro scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio got the top player rating of the team with 7.83/10. Gregorio stopped the opponent with two saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

A 0-0 draw at Parma's stadium before that.

Monza are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 5 away games. As opposed to that, Monza have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Previous eight meetings with these sides: Vicenza won two, Monza triumphed in three and we saw three draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with less than 2,5 goals.
