Gozzano form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie C: Girone A this season. Gozzano have only managed 1 win, 6 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Stadio Alfredo D'Albertas.

Stress levels are on the rise for Gozzano's attacking players as they have now played 188 minutes without scoring in a league game. D. Pozzebon was their last goal scorer.

The fans are hoping that Gozzano will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Serie C: Girone A game against Giana Erminio (placed 19th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Alessandria (0-1).

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 13 games. Gozzano has won two of these, drawn six and lost five.
