Competition: Italy Serie C: Girone A

Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Moccagatta (6000 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Alessandria are in the 8th position while the guesting Pianese worry at 16th.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Alessandria form and stats

Alessandria have collected 18 points from their Serie C: Girone A home games so far after 4-6-2. Two draws in a row at home now for Alessandria.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Alessandria, who played 3-3 against Olbia. That match was also played at this venue (Stadio Giuseppe Moccagatta). Before that match, a win away at Gozzano.

Opportunity lost for Alessandria in the Olbia match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Alessandria handle that role? We have found ten games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The win/draw/lost stats in these games are Wthree-Dsix-Lone.

A decent goal production from Alessandria in their home games so far, with 19 goals from 12 league matches. Alessandria have conceded 16 in these home matches.

Pianese form and stats

There's been little loot from Pianese's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 11 away games in the Serie C: Girone A. Pianese only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 5 draws. The awayteam now has four consecutive draws when travelling away from home.

Pianese delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against AlbinoLeffe (placed 7th) in their previous match; a Serie C: Girone A game. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Pro Vercelli.

Drawing 2-2 against AlbinoLeffe after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager M. Masi needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As mentioned above, Pianese drew the match against AlbinoLeffe. Manager M. Masi brought on D. Rinaldini to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

We have checked recent matches where Pianese have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were Wone-Dthree-Lzero.

The attacking power of Pianese when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Pianese have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Pianese - Alessandria 0-1 earlier this season.
