Competition: Italy Serie C: Girone A

Match begins: 14:30 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Silvio Piola (5500 seats)

Let's look at this appealing match in the Serie C: Girone A. Pro Vercelli is in the 11th position from participating in four matches. They welcome Novara who are placed 5th from four games.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Pro Vercelli form and stats

Only two Serie C: Girone A home games for Pro Vercelli so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

The home team returns to Stadio Silvio Piola after drawing with Triestina (placed 16th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1.

In the match before that, Vercelli hosted Renate and drew the game 1-1.

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 12 games. Pro Vercelli has won 6 of these, drawn 2 and lost 4.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Pro Vercelli at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Novara form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Serie C: Girone A, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 9 wins, 9 draws and 1 defeat from 19 matches.

Novara's last game was the home draw against Virtus Verona (0-0).

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Triestina.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Novara playing away and similar expectations, we found 12 relevant matches. Results were 2 Novara wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats.

2 goals so far away for Novara, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the preceeding ten meetings featuring these two participants are: five wins for Pro Vercelli, four draws and one win for Novara. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
