Pistoiese are yet to win a home game, having collected 2 points from their first two Serie C: Girone A games here at Stadio Marcello Melani. Two draws in a row at home now for Pistoiese.

Pistoiese travelled for their previous game, a trip to Pro Patria that ended 0-0. Before that, Pistoiese drew at home versus Pergolettese.
