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 Novara and Livorno.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Livorno 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 2-0-3 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.

Novara, who have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Serie C: Girone A, have played 11 Serie C: Girone A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-5-3 (wins-draws-losses).

No payout for Novara in their previous match, an away game at Pontedera that ended in defeat 0-1. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Alessandria in a game that was won 2-1.

Novara are traveling soon after this match as the Serie C: Girone A match at Carrarese awaits in four days.

Livorno form and stats

Livorno have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Serie C: Girone A, after 2-3-7 (12 played). Livorno seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Livorno played 3-3 against Olbia in their previous match. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Juventus U23 wasn't a success with a 0-6 loss.

Drawing 3-3 against Olbia after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager A. Dal Canto needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against Olbia was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

A quick return to home after this game, as Livorno are hosting Renate in the Serie C: Girone A only four days away.

The attacking power of Livorno when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 12 league matches away. As opposed to that, Livorno have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.
