Struggling Olbia will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Pontedera in the upcoming league round. It’s 19th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Olbia form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie C: Girone A this season. Olbia have only managed 1 win, 4 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Stadio Bruno Nespoli. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 18 attempts. With eight home games in a row without a win, the Olbia 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.
An away draw last time out for Olbia, facing Giana Erminio in a game that ended 2-2. In the match before that, Olbia hosted Juventus U23 and drew the game 1-1.
Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Giana Erminio last time out, but a goal from R. Ogunseye completed a comeback to a draw result for Olbia.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie C: Girone A game versus Robur Siena in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadio Bruno Nespoli.
Olbia have scored 7 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Pontedera form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie C: Girone A travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. Momentum is building for Pontedera in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
The supporters enjoyed Pontedera's previous game versus Renate (placed 3rd), a Serie C: Girone A 2-1 win played at home. A draw for Pontedera before that, at their own venue hosting Monza (2-2).
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Pontedera manager I. Maraia as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Carrarese.
Pontedera have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. Pontedera have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Pontedera - Olbia 3-2. Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: 2 wins for Olbia, 2 draws and 3 wins for Pontedera. Over 2,5 goals: 3 times; under 2,5 goals: 4 games.Top Goalscorers
