Pianese form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie C: Girone A this season. Pianese have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses from their games here. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Pianese, their manager M. Masi and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The home team returns after sharing the points with Carrarese (placed 5th) on their last time out; the Serie C: Girone A game ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Pianese lost 1-2 at home to Pontedera.

This is expected to be a close game, with Pianese perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pianese as a small favourite), we find two games. Pianese has won 0 of these, drawn 0 and lost 2.

Pianese are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 9 games. Pianese's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 12 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
