This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie B, Virtus Entella holding 20th place and Pescara lying 17th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Virtus Entella has the fewest scored goals (9) in Serie B
- Pescara has the most conceded goals in the first half (13) in Serie B
Virtus Entella and Pescara should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
1-0-3 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Pescara when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those four matches are 4-7 (scored/conceded).
Virtus Entella form and stats
Virtus Entella's results here at Stadio Comunale Chiavari in the Serie B have been very modest with 0 victories, 1 draw and 6 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts. With seven home Serie B games in a row without a win, the Virtus Entella fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Reggiana game long ago, can be stopped today.
Virtus Entella are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Salernitana. Ahead of that match, Virtus Entella lost 0-1 at home to Pordenone.
This is expected to be a close game, with Entella perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Virtus Entella as a small favourite), we find ten games. Virtus Entella has won four of these, drawn five and lost one.
There will be little rest for Entella after this match as they are travelling to Vicenza for a Serie B game in only three days.
Virtus Entella aren't scoring a lot here at Stadio Comunale Chiavari in the league, with only 4 goals from 7 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Entella with 17 goals conceded in these matches.
Pescara form and stats
There's been little loot from Pescara's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Serie B. Pescara, who have the fewest scored goals (4) away in Serie B, only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.
Pescara delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Brescia (placed 10th) in their previous match; a Serie B game. Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Monza.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Pescara playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were three Pescara wins, five draws and five defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Cosenza in just three days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Pescara as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. The Pescara manager M. Oddo has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.
