Pistoiese form and stats

There's been little loot from Pistoiese's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 6 away games in the Serie C: Girone A. Pistoiese, who have the fewest points (1) away in Serie C: Girone A, only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. A depressing four defeats in a row for Pistoiese in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Pro Patria.

Pistoiese won their last game, 2-0 versus Lucchese played at home. Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting Juventus U23's place.

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 Pistoiese playing away, we found eleven games. Results were two away wins, four draws and five home wins.

Pistoiese are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 6 away games. As opposed to that, Pistoiese have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
