Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Pro Patria in 12th and Pistoiese in 10th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Pro Patria form and stats
2-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie C: Girone A numbers at home for Pro Patria so far this season. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Pro Patria.
The home team returns to Stadio Carlo Speroni after sharing the points with Gozzano (placed 16th) on their last time out; the Serie C: Girone A game ended 2-2. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Alessandria.
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Gozzano as G. Le Noci's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a point.
The manager I. Javorcic will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to FeralpiSalo in only two days.
Pro Patria are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. On the other hand, Pro Patria have conceded 7 goals.
