Overall Serie C: Girone A stats at home this season for Novara are 2-4-2 (wins-draw-losses).

Two draws in a row at home now for Novara.
Novara are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 284 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by G. Panico).
Novara are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Pistoiese. In the match before that, Novara hosted Pro Patria and drew the game 0-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
