Grosseto form and stats

Grosseto's struggle is real here at Stadio Olimpico Carlo Zecchini with only 5 points collected from 9 Serie C: Girone A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-6. The Grosseto manager L. Magrini might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

No payout for Grosseto in their previous match, an away game at Olbia that ended in defeat 2-3. Preceding that match was a defeat to Pistoiese (0-2).

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 four games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost one.

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 (8 from 9 games). It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Grosseto have conceded 14 from these games. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Piacenza form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Piacenza so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-5 (win-draw-lose). Sharing is caring, but Piacenza are perhaps overdoing it with their four draws in a row. Two points from the last two away games for Piacenza, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Piacenza are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Juventus U23 (placed 6th). A draw for Piacenza before that, at their own venue hosting Pro Vercelli (1-1).

We have checked recent matches where Piacenza have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were two victories, three draws and four defeats.

The attacking power of Piacenza when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 10 league matches away. 13 goals have been conceded by Piacenza in these games.
