Grosseto form and stats

Grosseto's results here at Stadio Olimpico Carlo Zecchini in the Serie C: Girone A have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats.

Grosseto are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Renate. Ahead of that match, Grosseto won a home game hosting Piacenza (2-1).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Grosseto's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won one match, drawn zero and lost one.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Grosseto as they have a new game in only four days, a Serie C: Girone A match thankfully also at home. Pergolettese are visiting.

Grosseto are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 10 games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.

Lucchese form and stats

There's been little loot from Lucchese's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 10 away games in the Serie C: Girone A. Lucchese, who have the most conceded goals (37) in Serie C: Girone A, only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 4 draws.

Lucchese might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Novara proved too strong as Lucchese slumped to a 1-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Porta Elisa. Prior to that result Lucchese won their away game at Pergolettese. The scoreline was 2-0.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Lucchese playing away, we found two games. Results were one away win, zero draws and one home win.

A quick return to home after this game, as Lucchese are hosting Pro Vercelli in the Serie C: Girone A only four days away.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Lucchese have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
