After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Livorno and Novara in this fresh Serie C: Girone A season. Read our match preview!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Livorno and Novara.
It should be mentioned that Novara play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Novara on grass are 12 victories, 15 draws and 16 defeats from 43 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 52-56. You can compare this with overall results below.
Livorno form and stats
The first Serie C: Girone A game here at Stadio Armando Picchi resulted in a draw. Last season Livorno's home game statistics were 3 victories, 2 draws and 14 defeats from 19 games. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts. With 14 home Serie C: Girone A games in a row without a win, the Livorno fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Juve Stabia game long ago, can be stopped today.
Livorno travelled for their previous game, a trip to Olbia that ended 1-1. Heartbreak before that as Livorno lost 0-2 at Piacenza's place.
Livorno are traveling soon after this match as the Serie C: Girone A match at Renate awaits in four days.
Livorno has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Novara form and stats
Novara are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie C: Girone A, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Novara might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Pontedera proved too strong as Novara slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Comunale Silvio Piola. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Alessandria at their stadium, the result 2-1.
A quick return to home after this game, as Novara are hosting Carrarese in the Serie C: Girone A only four days away.
Novara have the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
As for the last seven games between these two teams, there's three Livorno victories, zero draws and four Novara wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
