Piacenza hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 9 points and a 16th position in the Serie C: Girone A table. Visiting Novara holds 11th place with 14 pts.
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!
This stadium uses grass, unlike Novara's home stadium. The visitors last 43 games on grass have ended in 12 wins, 15 draws and 16 losses.

The Piacenza fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
Novara form and stats
2 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Novara playing as the away team in the Serie C: Girone A this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Novara are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
The manager S. Banchieri was unhappy after their last game, a Serie C: Girone A match played at their home ground Stadio Comunale Silvio Piola. Novara suffered a 1-2 loss to Renate (placed 1st). Prior to that match, the Novara manager S. Banchieri faced defeat when travelling to Lecco and losing 0-1.
Late heartbreak for Novara in the Renate match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
