Pontedera form and stats
2 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Pontedera, who have the fewest scored goals (9) in Serie C: Girone A, have to build on here at Stadio Ettore Mannucci in the Serie C: Girone A. The Pontedera manager I. Maraia might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
A. Magrassi was the last player to score a league goal for Pontedera and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Pontedera haven't scored in 316 minutes.
The Pontedera fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie C: Girone A game also here at Stadio Ettore Mannucci: A 0-1 defeat against Lucchese (placed 20th). Before that, Pontedera played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Livorno.
This is expected to be a close game, with Pontedera perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pontedera as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Pontedera has won five of these, drawn eight and lost two.

Como form and stats
The away performances of Como have been very solid so far with 5 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat in the Serie C: Girone A. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. It’s been three wins in a row for Como on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Como goalkeeper Davide Facchin is eager to challenge this, with his 225 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Two travels in a row for Como, whose manager M. Banchini could celebrate last time after the Serie C: Girone A win against Pro Sesto. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Piacenza.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Como in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Como, one draw and three defeats.
