Grosseto form and stats

Grosseto, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) at home in Serie C: Girone A, have played 18 Serie C: Girone A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-5-7 (wins-draws-losses).

Grosseto are returning here after visiting Pistoiese in a Serie C: Girone A game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. A. Raimo scored the goal(s). Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Pro Sesto.

R. Russo was on the receiving end of a red card in the Grosseto-Pistoiese match, being sent off in the 42nd minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 1-0 victory.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Grosseto matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, zero draws and one defeat (from three games).

Grosseto has scored 22 league goals at home this season, in 18 matches. On the other hand, Grosseto have conceded 23 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Olbia form and stats

The visitors are W3-D11-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Serie C: Girone A. Olbia are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing. With three draws in a row for Olbia the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

There were no winners in Olbia's previous match, a Serie C: Girone A home game that ended 3-3 vs Novara (placed 11th). A 1-1 draw at Juventus U23's stadium before that.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Olbia, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? As mentioned above, Olbia drew the match against Novara. Manager M. Canzi brought on L. Belloni to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

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 Olbia playing away, we found seven games. Results were three away wins, one draw and three home wins.

The visiting Olbia have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 20 goals from 18 games. As opposed to that, Olbia have seen the ball go into their own net 23 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Olbia - Grosseto 3-2. Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: one win for Grosseto, zero draws and two wins for Olbia. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: zero games.
