Pro Patria form and stats

There's been little loot from Pro Patria's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 15 away games in the Serie C: Girone A. Pro Patria only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 7 draws. Patria seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Pro Patria go into this game after a win, the home game against Giana Erminio that ended 5-1.

Prior to that match, the Pro Patria manager Sala faced defeat when travelling to Pro Vercelli and losing 1-4.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 19 similar matches played by Patria in our archives, and the results are: nine wins for Pro Patria, seven draws and three defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Pro Patria are hosting Renate in the Serie C: Girone A only four days away.

The visitors have scored 13 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Pro Patria's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 24 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

This was the final score when the teams played each other previously this campaign; Pro Patria - Fiorenzuola 0-1.
