Competition: Italy Serie C: Girone A

Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Voltini (4095 seats)

It's early days in the Serie C: Girone A and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

It's no vacation for neither Pergolettese nor Pistoiese as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Pergolettese form and stats

0-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie C: Girone A numbers at home for Pergolettese so far this season. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Pergolettese with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Pianese game, 105 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Pergolettese manager M. Contini might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Pergolettese's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Pistoiese. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Como.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Pergolettese have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 0 Lost 2.

Early season league goal statistics from Pergolettese's 1 home game: 0 goals, 2 conceded.

Pistoiese form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Serie C: Girone A, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 4 wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats from 19 matches. Momentum is building for Pistoiese in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

Two travels in a row for Pistoiese, whose manager G. Pancaro could celebrate last time after the Serie C: Girone A win against Pergolettese. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus AlbinoLeffe.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Pistoiese playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were 3 Pistoiese wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats.

2 goals so far away for Pistoiese, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Pergolettese - Pistoiese 0-2. Head-to-head totals (for the last one meeting): Pergolettese won 0 games, 0 matches ended with a draw and Pistoiese has 1 win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 0 / 1
