Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Grosseto in 11th and Novara in 13th place.
- Grosseto have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Novara have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Novara have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 12-15-16 (win-draw-loss) from 43 matches.
Grosseto form and stats
Grosseto's struggle is real here at Stadio Olimpico Carlo Zecchini with only 4 points collected from 6 Serie C: Girone A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-4.
G. Sicurella was the last player to score a league goal for Grosseto and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Grosseto haven't scored in 180 minutes.
Grosseto manager L. Magrini and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Pro Patria (placed 9th) in the Serie C: Girone A. Heartbreak before that as Grosseto lost 0-2 at Juventus U23's place.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Grosseto have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won one, drawn one and lost three.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Grosseto here at Stadio Olimpico Carlo Zecchini in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 6 games). Grosseto's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Novara form and stats
2-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Novara in their Serie C: Girone A matches away. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Novara are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
There were no winners in Novara's previous match, a Serie C: Girone A home game that ended 0-0 vs AlbinoLeffe (placed 10th). A loss against Renate was the result prior to that, in a home game.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Novara playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were one Novara win, five draws and six defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Serie C: Girone A trip to Piacenza.
