Pergolettese form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Pergolettese's two home games in the Serie C: Girone A so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadio Giuseppe Voltini.

Pergolettese's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Grosseto (placed 4th). A 1-1 draw away before that, with Pistoiese the opponent.

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 nine matches with the results: Won four, drawn zero and lost five.

There will be little rest for Pergolettese after this match as they are travelling to Como for a Serie C: Girone A game in only three days.

Early season league goal statistics from Pergolettese's 2 home games: 3 goals, 3 conceded.

Pro Sesto form and stats

Things could have gone better for Pro Sesto in their Serie C: Girone A away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

There were no winners in Sesto's previous match, a Serie C: Girone A home game that ended 1-1 vs Olbia (placed 19th). Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at AlbinoLeffe.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sesto playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were three Pro Sesto wins, zero draws and zero defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Giana Erminio in just three days.

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