Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Gozzano languishing in the 17th position so far. The guesting Alessandria will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Gozzano and Alessandria should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Alessandria have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 3-3-1 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.

Gozzano have scored 9 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. Gozzano have conceded 13 in these home matches.
