Season ticket holders at Stadio Comunale Chiavari haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Virtus Entella languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Vicenza will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Virtus Entella have the fewest scored goals (25) in Serie B
  • Vicenza have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Serie B.

1-0-0 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Vicenza 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 one match are 3-1 (scored/conceded).

Entella are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Vicenza are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
