2nd position in the Serie C: Girone A table for Renate so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 13th-placed Pro Patria visits Stadio Citta di Meda.

The visiting Pro Patria played their last game only four days ago, a Coppa Italia Serie C match. That game was also an away game, at FeralpiSalo. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Renate manager A. Diana and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Pro Vercelli (placed 8th) in the Serie C: Girone A. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Pianese.

Pro Patria form and stats

2 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Pro Patria playing as the away team in the Serie C: Girone A this season. Pro Patria has showed their ability to avoid defeat with four draws in a row, but are also dodging victories. They last avoided the draw 35 days ago, in the Carrarese fixture. Pro Patria has drawn their two previous away games.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Pro Patria, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus FeralpiSalo. A draw for Pro Patria before that, at their own venue hosting Pistoiese (1-1).

A huge disappointment for Pro Patria in their last match (vs FeralpiSalo). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all points were lost in a 2-3 defeat.

We have checked recent matches where Pro Patria have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were W1-D4-L2.

Pro Patria have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. Pro Patria have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
