Lucchese form and stats

Three Serie C: Girone A home games done for Lucchese, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. It's trouble wherever Lucchese are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Lucchese are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadio Porta Elisa, having lost their two previous games here.

In their previous game, the manager F. Monaco led his Lucchese to a defeat in the Serie C: Girone A match away at Pro Patria. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Porta Elisa. Ahead of that match, Lucchese lost 2-3 at home to Como.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lucchese perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lucchese as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Lucchese has won three of these, drawn seven and lost one.

Lucchese have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadio Porta Elisa with 5 goals in 3 league matches. As for conceded goals, Lucchese's unpleasant statistic is 8 goals surrendered.

Juventus U23 form and stats

Juventus U23 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).

Two away games in a row for Juventus U23, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Pro Vercelli in the Serie C: Girone A. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting AlbinoLeffe.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Juventus U23 playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were six Juventus wins, three draws and three defeats.

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

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Juventus U23 has managed 2 goals and let in 2 from 2 matches.
