A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Pro Vercelli fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Piacenza's 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Insights:
  • Piacenza have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

The hosts Vercelli saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Serie C: Girone A. Thankfully the previous game, versus Lecco, was also a home game here at Stadio Silvio Piola. The away team is better rested.

It should be mentioned that Piacenza play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Piacenza on artifical turf are 0 victories, 4 draws and 2 defeats from six games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 4-8.

Pro Vercelli form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie C: Girone A, Pro Vercelli have managed 9 wins, 5 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 18 games. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Vercelli, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

A strong away win before that one, visiting AlbinoLeffe and winning 3-1.

The manager F. Modesto will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Pontedera in only three days.

The Vercelli fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 18 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Vercelli have conceded only 15 goals.
