Pro Vercelli form and stats

Pro Vercelli have collected 19 points from their Serie C: Girone A home games so far after 5-4-7. Pro Vercelli are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadio Silvio Piola, having lost their two previous games here.

Happy days for Vercelli in their previous game, a fixture away at AlbinoLeffe (placed 17th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Just what the doctor ordered, as that was the first league win after playing, but not winning, six consecutive fixtures.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Vicenza (1-4).

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 Pro Vercelli as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Pro Vercelli has won 5 of these, drawn 5 and lost 6.

Vercelli are traveling soon after this match as the Serie C: Girone A match at Pergolettese awaits in four days.

Pro Vercelli are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 16 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Pro Vercelli's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 23 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Juventus U23 form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Juventus U23 so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-8 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Juventus are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

There might be some fixture complaints from Juventus U23 as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-2 against Novara.

Before that, Juventus secured a home win against AlbinoLeffe with the score 2-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Juventus U23 playing away and similar expectations, we found 18 relevant matches. Results were {6 Juventus U23 wins}, 5 draws and 7 defeats.

Few goals the story here? 8 of this side's latest 10 league matches have contained two goals or less.

A quick return to home after this game, as Juventus U23 are hosting Pro Patria in the Serie C: Girone A only four days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Juventus as they have only managed to score 14 times from 15 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Juventus U23 have seen the ball go into their own net 22 times on the road.
