With the nervous opening match out of the way it’s time for the second Serie C: Girone A meeting of the season. Pergolettese are ready to confront Piacenza in front of their home following.

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 Pergolettese and Piacenza.

Pergolettese form and stats

The season before, Pergolettese's league results were 12 wins, 11 draws and 15 losses, results that produced 10th spot in the Serie C: Girone A. From these 38 matches they scored 42 goals and let in 55. Playing at their own stadium in the previous season Pergolettese produced 7-7-5 (win-draw-lost) with 23 goals and 18 conceded. Pergolettese have only played one Serie C: Girone A game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats from 19 matches.

The Pergolettese club members enjoyed the previous game, watching their team host Piacenza and win 2-1. Just what the doctor ordered, as that was the first league victory after going winless in seven fixtures in a row.

A 0-0 draw away in the Serie C Play-offs before that, with Pro Vercelli the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Pergolettese perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pergolettese as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Pergolettese has won 7 of these, drawn 3 and lost 4.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Pergolettese at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Piacenza form and stats

Let's have a look at how Piacenza performed last season in the Serie C: Girone A: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 14 draws and 12 defeats. In total they scored 44 and conceded 46 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 8 and lost 6 with 26/29 goals scored/conceded. Piacenza have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Serie C: Girone A were 5 victories, 8 draws and 6 defeats from 19 fixtures.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Piacenza, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Pergolettese (placed 6th).

Before that, Piacenza travelled to Juventus U23 and returned home with a draw after the Serie C Play-offs game finished 0-0.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 10 similar matches played by Piacenza in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Piacenza, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

It's early days yet, but Piacenza has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
