Gozzano hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 18 points and a 18th position in the Serie C: Girone A table. Visiting Pistoiese holds 11th place with 24 pts.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Pistoiese's home stadium. The visitors last eight games on artificial turf have ended in 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses.
Gozzano form and stats
Gozzano's struggle is real here at Stadio Alfredo D'Albertas with only 8 points collected from 10 Serie C: Girone A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-5-4. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Gozzano, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
In their previous game, the manager D. Sassarini led his Gozzano to a defeat in the Serie C: Girone A match away at Como. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Alfredo D'Albertas. Ahead of that match, Gozzano lost 0-1 at home to Pergolettese.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Gozzano as they have a new game in only four days, a Serie C: Girone A match thankfully also at home. Alessandria are visiting.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Gozzano here at Stadio Alfredo D'Albertas in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 10 games). Gozzano have conceded 13 in these home matches.
Pistoiese form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie C: Girone A travels is 2 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats. Sharing is caring, but Pistoiese are perhaps overdoing it with their five draws in a row. Visiting Pistoiese has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
O. Stijepovic was the last player to score for the away team. Pistoiese haven't scored a league goal in the last 324 minutes. 359 minutes! That's how long the Pistoiese goalkeeper and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Pistoiese delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Pergolettese (placed 17th) in their previous match; a Serie C: Girone A game. A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Lecco.
The schedule is very tough for Pistoiese now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie C: Girone A game at AlbinoLeffe is waiting in only four days.
Pistoiese are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 9 games (in the league). They concede less than a goal on average per away game (8 so far).
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Pistoiese - Gozzano 1-1 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last three meetings): Gozzano won 0 games, 2 matches ended with a draw and Pistoiese has 1 win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 1 / 2Top Goalscorers
