- Piacenza have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Pistoiese has the fewest points (4) away in Serie C: Girone A
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Piacenza form and stats
2-6-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie C: Girone A numbers at home for Piacenza so far this season.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Carrarese in the Serie C: Girone A last time out and are looking for a win here. A strong away win before that one, visiting Livorno and winning 1-0.
The hometeam coach C. Scazzola made a successful contribution in the game against Carrarese, bringing on D. Lamesta who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Piacenza have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won six times, drawn two and lost two.
The manager C. Scazzola will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Olbia in only three days.
A decent goal production from Piacenza in their home games so far, with 18 goals from 11 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Piacenza have conceded 17 from these games.
Pistoiese form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Pistoiese, who have the fewest points (4) away in Serie C: Girone A, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-9 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Pistoiese have lost on their last two travels.
Pistoiese's previous game was their home loss versus Pro Patria (1-2). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Pergolettese wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
Pistoiese are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, four draws and five defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Carrarese in just three days.
The attacking power of Pistoiese when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Pistoiese have conceded 18 goals in these games.
