Struggling Novara will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Pro Vercelli in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Novara have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Pro Vercelli have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Novara and Pro Vercelli should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Novara form and stats
Overall Serie C: Girone A stats at home this season for Novara are 2-5-2 (wins-draw-losses). All in all it has been a very rough period for Novara who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 13 attempts. Their previous win was against Livorno, 93 days ago. With seven home Serie C: Girone A games in a row without a win, the Novara fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Giana Erminio game long ago, can be stopped today.
No payout for Novara in their previous match, an away game at Como that ended in defeat 0-1. In the match before that, Novara hosted Olbia and drew the game 1-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Novara perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Novara as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Novara has won six of these, drawn four and lost three.
Novara are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Novara have conceded only 8 goals.
Pro Vercelli form and stats
The visitors are W3-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Serie C: Girone A.
The supporters enjoyed Pro Vercelli's previous game versus Carrarese (placed 8th), a Serie C: Girone A 3-1 win played at home. Before that, Pro Vercelli travelled to Piacenza and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Pro Vercelli playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were six Vercelli wins, three draws and seven defeats.
Vercelli are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 9 games (in the league). Vercelli have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
