An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie C: Girone A, with both Olbia and Piacenza experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 15th place.
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 Olbia and Piacenza.
Olbia form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie C: Girone A, Olbia have managed 3 wins, 4 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 11 games.
Olbia travelled for their previous game, a trip to Livorno that ended 3-3. Heartbreak before that as Olbia lost 0-1 at Pro Patria's place.
Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Livorno last time out, but a goal from R. Ladinetti completed a comeback to a draw result for Olbia. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Olbia have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost one.
The manager M. Canzi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Pro Vercelli in only four days.
Olbia has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. 14 goals have been conceded.
Piacenza form and stats
There's been little loot from Piacenza's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 12 away games in the Serie C: Girone A. Piacenza only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws.
A. Palma and A. Corbari scored in Piacenza's previous match, the home game against Pistoiese that ended 2-0. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Carrarese.
Piacenza are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, three draws and four defeats. From a total of nine matches.
After this away game Piacenza return home for a Serie C: Girone A game against Lecco. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The visitors have scored 10 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Piacenza have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.
