The Pro Vercelli & Carrarese managers A. Gilardino and S. Baldini are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Serie C: Girone A league table.

Insights:
  • Pro Vercelli haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Carrarese have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

3-2-3 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Carrarese when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those eight matches are 13-12 (scored/conceded).

Pro Vercelli form and stats

5-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie C: Girone A numbers at home for Pro Vercelli so far this season.

Before that, Vercelli drew at home versus Pontedera.

This is expected to be a close game, with Pro Vercelli perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Vercelli as a small favourite), we find nine games. Pro Vercelli has won three of these, drawn four and lost two.

Vercelli are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 9 games. Vercelli's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times.

Carrarese form and stats

The visitors are W4-D3-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Serie C: Girone A.

Before that, Carrarese travelled to Lucchese and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Carrarese in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Carrarese, five draws and two defeats.

Carrarese have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 9 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Carrarese as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head
