Struggling Lecco will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Novara in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
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 stadium uses grass, unlike Novara's home stadium. The visitors last 40 games on grass have ended in 12 wins, 14 draws and 14 losses.
Lecco form and stats
With 2 Serie C: Girone A wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Lecco are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The home team returns to Stadio Rigamonti Ceppi after being equal after 90 minutes with Pro Vercelli (placed 13th) on their last time out; the Serie C: Girone A game ended 1-1. 0-0 away at Pistoiese before that.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie C: Girone A game versus Arezzo in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadio Rigamonti Ceppi.
Lecco aren't scoring a lot here at Stadio Rigamonti Ceppi in the league, with only 7 goals from 9 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Novara form and stats
The visitors are W3-D2-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Serie C: Girone A.
The manager S. Banchieri was unhappy after their last game, a Serie C: Girone A match played at their home ground Stadio Comunale Silvio Piola. Novara suffered a 0-3 loss to Monza (placed 1st). Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Robur Siena.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Serie C: Girone A trip to Juventus U23.
Novara are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 9 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Novara have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road.
