Olbia form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Olbia, who have the most conceded goals (23) away in Serie C: Girone A, so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-7 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Olbia, who have now gone 20 games without a victory. The Giana Erminio game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie C: Girone A home defeat versus Robur Siena with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Pontedera.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Olbia when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing 5 times, drawing 0 and winning 1 game.

Olbia are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 11 games (in the league). The Olbia manager O. Brevi has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Olbia - Alessandria 0-3, played this season. Alessandria-Olbia H2H statistics last nine meetings regardless of arena: Alessandria 7 wins, Olbia 0 wins, 2 draws. 6 of these nine matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
