Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Novara - Carrarese!

It's no vacation for neither Novara nor Carrarese as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Carrarese have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 3-1-3 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.
