Struggling Pergolettese will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Pro Vercelli in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

This pitch has grass, which is not Pro Vercelli's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Pro Vercelli have performed like this: Played 39 matches resulting in 13 wins, 9 draws and 17 defeats with the goal stats 44-49 (scored/conceded).
