  • Pro Vercelli has the the best goal difference (+8) in Serie C: Girone A

The visiting Pro Vercelli played their last game only four days ago, a Serie C: Girone A match. That game, against Pergolettese, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Pro Vercelli.

Alessandria's stadium, Stadio Giuseppe Moccagatta, has a grass surface. Pro Vercelli have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Pro Vercelli when playing on grass; 15 wins, 8 draws and 16 losses from 39 matches. They have scored 46 goals in these games and conceded 47.

Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Alessandria, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

The fans are hoping that Alessandria will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Serie C: Girone A game against Renate (placed 2nd). Ahead of that match, Alessandria won a home game hosting Piacenza (2-0).

Pro Vercelli form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the the best goal difference (+8) in Serie C: Girone A, on their Serie C: Girone A travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Pro Vercelli has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

It's the second away game in a row for Vercelli, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Pergolettese (placed 16th) in the Serie C: Girone A last time out. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Pro Sesto.

G. Comi came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Pergolettese last time out, making the manager A. Gilardino feel like a tactical genius.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Vercelli playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were six Pro Vercelli wins, three draws and six defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Pro Vercelli have scored 8 goals in 6 league games away. As opposed to that, Vercelli have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.
