Olbia form and stats

Olbia have less points than they have played home games in the Serie C: Girone A so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Olbia, their manager M. Canzi and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Olbia drew their last game, 1-1 away at Pro Sesto (placed 14th). Before that game, the home loss against Pro Patria with the scoreline 0-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Olbia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Olbia as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Olbia has won zero of these, drawn four and lost ten.

Olbia are traveling soon after this match as the Serie C: Girone A match at Piacenza awaits in three days.

Olbia has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Livorno form and stats

The Serie C: Girone A season is young and Livorno have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Livorno, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Juve Stabia game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Livorno play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Piacenza (placed 13th). A draw for Livorno before that, at their own venue hosting Lecco (2-2).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Livorno playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Livorno win, two draws and two defeats.

A new game in only three days for Livorno, the Serie C: Girone A home match versus Novara. Busy days.

It's early days yet, but Livorno has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Last four meetings between the teams: Olbia won two, Livorno won two and zero draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.
