Novara form and stats

5 victories, 7 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Novara have to build on here at Stadio Comunale Silvio Piola. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Novara, their manager G. Sannino and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

A good away victory last time out for Novara, who won 1-0 against Lucchese. Ahead of that match, Novara lost 1-2 at home to Virtus Entella.
