Virtus Entella form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie B this season. Virtus Entella, who have the most conceded goals (20) at home in Serie B, have only managed 3 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses from their games here at Stadio Comunale Chiavari. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Entella to get some points in this home game.

Entella are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Reggina. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Reggiana (1-2).

The Entella fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 11 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Entella defense is not exactly impregnable. 20 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
