Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Silvio Piola (5500 seats)

It's a new born Serie C: Girone A campaign and Pro Vercelli are itching to get on the pitch here at Stadio Silvio Piola. Lecco are visiting and this could be a compelling season premiere.

Both contenders have had time to rest since their last exertion in an official match. Let's hope for an in-your-face game!

2-1-3 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Lecco 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 six matches are 6-9 (scored/conceded).
