Grosseto form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie C: Girone A, Grosseto have managed 0 wins, 1 draw and suffered 4 defeats from 5 games. The Grosseto manager L. Magrini might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The Grosseto crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Lecco here at Stadio Olimpico Carlo Zecchini in a Serie C: Girone A match. Ahead of that match, Grosseto lost 0-1 at home to Carrarese.

The defeat against Lecco was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored four minutes into stoppage time (by A. Malgrati).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Grosseto have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won one time, drawn one and lost zero.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Grosseto as they are travelling to their away game against Juventus U23 in the Serie C: Girone A. That match is four days after this one.

Grosseto have scored 3 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. 7 goals have been conceded.
