Pro Vercelli - Pergolettese. 5th position hosts 16th position. Nothing is certain - get a full preview here!

Insights:
  • Pergolettese have the most conceded goals in the second half (33) in Serie C: Girone A

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Pergolettese have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-3-1 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.

Pro Vercelli and Pergolettese should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Pro Vercelli form and stats

Pro Vercelli have played 16 Serie C: Girone A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-4-5 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stadio Silvio Piola.

The Pro Vercelli goalkeeper Matteo Rizzo is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 358 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie C: Girone A.

A good away victory last time out for Pro Vercelli, who won 1-0 against Legnago Salus (placed 20th).

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against AlbinoLeffe.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Vercelli have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won four times, drawn five and lost three.

Pro Vercelli has scored 17 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. From these home matches, Vercelli have conceded only 15 goals.

Pergolettese form and stats

There's been little loot from Pergolettese's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 16 away games in the Serie C: Girone A. Pergolettese only have 3 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 3 draws.

Pergolettese are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the game against Giana Erminio (placed 19th).

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Triestina.

We have checked recent matches where Pergolettese have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were three victories, four draws and six defeats.

The attacking power of Pergolettese when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 16 league matches away. The Pergolettese manager Mussa has some worries about the defense as 35 goals have been conceded in these travels. Pergolettese has visited these top teams four times, and 3 of 4 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

This happened when the participants met earlier this campaign; Pergolettese - Vercelli 4-0. Numbers for the prior ten meetings featuring these two squads are: two wins for Pro Vercelli, four draws and four wins for Pergolettese. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
