Gozzano form and stats

Gozzano's struggle is real here at Stadio Alfredo D'Albertas with only 8 points collected from 8 Serie C: Girone A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-5-2.

The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Pro Patria in the Serie C: Girone A last time out and are looking for a win here. Preceding that game was the away draw at Robur Siena that finished 1-1.

A case of two points dropped for Gozzano in the Pro Patria match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.

This is expected to be a close game, with Gozzano perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Gozzano as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Gozzano has won 2 of these, drawn 5 and lost 4.

Gozzano are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. Gozzano's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
