Insights:
  • Pro Vercelli haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Pro Sesto is in the worst form (0-3-3)

This ground has artifical turf, which is not Pro Sesto's regular surface at their own field. When appearing on artifical turf Pro Sesto have performed like this: Played three matches with the output 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat with the goal data 3-2 (scored/conceded).

It's no vacation for neither Pro Vercelli nor Pro Sesto as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

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 Pro Vercelli have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won four times, drawn five and lost five.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie C: Girone A game versus Virtus Verona in only four days. This game is also played here at Stadio Silvio Piola.

Pro Vercelli have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Pro Vercelli have conceded 13 in these home matches.

Pro Sesto form and stats

There's been little loot from Pro Sesto's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 11 away games in the Serie C: Girone A. Pro Sesto only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 4 draws. Pro Sesto are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Seregno fixture.

Home advantage was not enough for Pro Sesto in their previous game as they lost hosting Renate, 1-4.

Prior to that match, the Sesto manager Banchieri faced defeat when travelling to Fiorenzuola and losing 1-3.

We have checked recent matches where Pro Sesto have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were three victories, three draws and two defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Pro Sesto now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie C: Girone A game at Triestina is waiting in only four days.

Goals are few and far between in Pro Sesto's away league games. Only 8 goals from 11 travels. Many goals are not expected from the visiting Pro Sesto as they have only managed to score 8 times from 11 away games in the league. 14 goals have been conceded by Pro Sesto in these games.
