The Serie C: Girone A league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Pro Vercelli and Lucchese are placed 12th and 18th respectively.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Pro Vercelli and Lucchese.

Pro Vercelli's stadium, Stadio Silvio Piola, has a artifical turf surface. Lucchese have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Lucchese when playing on artifical turf; 2 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss from nine matches. They have scored 9 goals in these games and conceded 10.

Pro Vercelli form and stats

The hosts won their first Serie C: Girone A game here at Stadio Silvio Piola, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Pro Vercelli last season were 3 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses from 12 games.

In their previous game, the manager A. Gilardino led his Vercelli to a defeat in the Serie C: Girone A match away at Renate. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Silvio Piola. Preceding that game was the away draw at Pro Patria that finished 1-1.

Heartbreak for Vercelli in their last match as Renate's F. Galuppini scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Vercelli's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn two and lost zero.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Pro Vercelli at home in the league. 1 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Lucchese form and stats

Lucchese have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Serie C: Girone A were 6 victories, 5 draws and 1 defeat from 12 fixtures.

Lucchese have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 185 minutes ago. J. Bitep was the goal scorer.

Lucchese might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Grosseto proved too strong as Lucchese slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Porta Elisa. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Novara wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Lucchese playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Lucchese has managed 0 goals and let in 3 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last two meetings: zero - two - zero (Vercelli wins - draws - Lucchese wins). As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
