Virtus Entella, who have the most conceded goals (10) at home in Serie B, have played 4 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). Entella are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadio Comunale Chiavari, having lost their two previous games here.
