Venue: Stadio Olimpico Carlo Zecchini (10200 seats)

It's still early in the Serie C: Girone A season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Grosseto - Pro Vercelli preview!

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

This pitch has grass, which is not Pro Vercelli's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Pro Vercelli have performed like this: Played 39 matches resulting in 13 wins, 9 draws and 17 defeats with the goal stats 45-50 (scored/conceded).

Grosseto form and stats

Grosseto's first Serie C: Girone A home game here at Stadio Olimpico Carlo Zecchini ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from 13 matches.

Grosseto are returning here after visiting Pergolettese in a Serie C: Girone A game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Lucchese and winning 2-0.

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 two matches with the results: Won one, drawn zero and lost one.

The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Alessandria in only four days.

Grosseto has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Pro Vercelli form and stats

The Serie C: Girone A season is young and Pro Vercelli have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Pro Vercelli are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Serie C: Girone A against Lucchese (placed 20th). Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Renate's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Pro Vercelli playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were five Vercelli wins, three draws and six defeats.

After this away game Vercelli return home for a Serie C: Girone A game against Juventus U23. That game is only four sleeps after this.

It's early days yet, but Pro Vercelli has scored 2 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last two meetings: one - one - zero (Grosseto wins - draws - Pro Vercelli wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
