It's no vacation for neither Vicenza nor Reggina as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Reggina have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Vicenza form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, Vicenza have managed 1 win, 4 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 5 games. In general it's been a long time since Vicenza tasted defeat here at Stadio Romeo Menti, as they have taken at least one point from their last twelve home games in the league.

A nice win for Vicenza last time playing, versus Ascoli. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Riccardo Meggiorini and Emanuele Padella scoring for the victors. Heartbreak before that as Vicenza lost 0-3 at Cittadella's place.

A late climax in the match against Ascoli as the winning goal came three minutes into overtime; scored by Emanuele Padella.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Vicenza have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won two times, drawn four and lost one.

Vicenza have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadio Romeo Menti with 9 goals in 5 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded.

Reggina form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Reggina so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-3 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Reggina are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road. Three has not been a lucky number for Reggina as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Brescia match.

Home advantage was not enough for Reggina in their previous game, as they lost their Serie B-match, hosting Cittadella, 1-3. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Venezia.

Reggina are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and two defeats. From a total of six matches.

The attacking power of Reggina when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Reggina have conceded 11 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
