Vicenza form and stats

Vicenza's struggle is real here at Stadio Romeo Menti with only 13 points collected from 14 Serie B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-4-7. When Vicenza hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like SPAL, Alessandria, Vicenza, Cosenza, Crotone and Pordenone), they have won 2 of 4 matches! Two home wins in a row for Vicenza bring valid hopes of a third.

No payout for Vicenza in their previous match, an away game at Monza that ended in defeat 0-4.

Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Ternana.

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

The Vicenza fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 14 matches. Vicenza have conceded 21 from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches. Vicenza has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.

Parma form and stats

The visitors are W3-D7-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B. When Parma is visiting a side on the bottom half, they have won 2 of 3 matches. SPAL, Alessandria, Parma, Cosenza, Crotone and Pordenone is teams we like to compare Vicenza with. With three draws in a row for Parma the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

Parma's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Cittadella that finished 1-1. The attacker Vázquez got a match rating of 8.1 in that game. Vázquez hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 51 successful passes (of 61 total).

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Reggina.

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

A new game in only four days for Parma, the Serie B home match versus Lecce. Busy days.

Parma have scored 17 goals on their travels this season, from 14 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Parma have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road. When Parma is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 3 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against SPAL, Alessandria, Parma, Cosenza, Crotone and Pordenone.
