Pontedera form and stats

2 victories, 1 draw and 2 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.

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 226 minutes.

Preceding that match was the home game against Pro Patria that was lost 0-1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Pontedera as they have a new game in only four days, a Serie C: Girone A match thankfully also at home. Como are visiting.

Pontedera have scored 2 goals here in 5 league matches, a depressing statistic. As for guarding their own goal, Pontedera have only let in 2 goals at home.

Lucchese form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Lucchese, who have the most conceded goals (26) in Serie C: Girone A, so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-4 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Lucchese, who have now gone twelve games without a victory. The Ligorna game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

A loss against AlbinoLeffe was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Alessandria in just four days.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Lucchese's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 6 matches. Lucchese's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Pontedera six wins, one draw and Lucchese three victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.
