Carrarese form and stats

4-2-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie C: Girone A numbers at home for Carrarese so far this season. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Carrarese, their manager S. Baldini and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Carrarese travelled for their previous game, a trip to Piacenza that ended 1-1. Preceding that game was the away draw at Pontedera that finished 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Carrarese perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Carrarese as a small favourite), we find seven games. Carrarese has won five of these, drawn zero and lost two.

Carrarese are traveling soon after this match as the Serie C: Girone A match at Pistoiese awaits in three days.

Carrarese have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Carrarese have conceded only 10 goals.

Lecco form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Lecco so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-5 (win-draw-lose). It's three draws from Lecco's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

327 minutes! That's how long the Lecco goalkeeper Marco Pissardo and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Lecco are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the Serie C: Girone A against Como (placed 2nd). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Alessandria that ended 0-0.

As mentioned above, Lecco was the only team on the pitch versus Como in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Lecco in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Lecco, two draws and three defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Lecco are hosting Pontedera in the Serie C: Girone A only three days away.

It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Lecco have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.
