- Pistoiese have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

Pistoiese form and stats
2-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie C: Girone A numbers at home for Pistoiese so far this season. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Pistoiese to get some points in this home game.
In their previous game, the manager G. Pancaro led his Pistoiese to a defeat in the Serie C: Girone A match away at Juventus U23. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Marcello Melani. Ahead of that match, Pistoiese lost 1-2 at home to Olbia.
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 Pistoiese have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 15 matches with the results: Won six, drawn three and lost six.
The Pistoiese fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. On the other hand, Pistoiese have conceded 7 goals.
Lucchese form and stats
0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Lucchese, who have the most conceded goals (24) in Serie C: Girone A, playing as the away team in the Serie C: Girone A this season. Lucchese are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Ligorna fixture. Lucchese has drawn their two previous away games.
Lucchese failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie C: Girone A home match vs AlbinoLeffe (placed 9th) that ended with defeat 4-5. A loss against Giana Erminio was the result prior to that, in a home game.
As you can tell from the result, the match against AlbinoLeffe was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 9 goals, will the fun continue today?
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lucchese playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Lucchese win, two draws and two defeats.
Lucchese has another fixture away, a Serie C: Girone A game, against Pontedera in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Goals are few and far between in Lucchese's away league games. Only 2 goals from 5 travels. Lucchese have conceded 9 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
