Seregno form and stats

Seregno's struggle is real here at Stadio Ferrucio with only 9 points collected from 15 Serie C: Girone A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-10. When Seregno hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Pro Sesto, Pergolettese, Pro Patria, Giana Erminio, Trento Calcio 1921 and Seregno), they have won 2 of 3 matches! All in all it has been a very rough period for Seregno who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 14 attempts. Their previous win was against Trento Calcio 1921, 102 days ago.

The home team returns to Stadio Ferrucio after drawing with Pro Sesto (placed 16th) on their last time out; the game ended 2-2.

Preceding that match was a defeat to AlbinoLeffe (1-3).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Seregno have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost zero.

There will be little rest for Seregno after this match as they are travelling to Südtirol for a Serie C: Girone A game in only four days.

Seregno are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 15 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Seregno defense is not exactly impregnable. 25 goals conceded from 15 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. Seregno has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Legnago Salus's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Renate that finished 1-1.

Prior to that result Legnago won their away game at Trento Calcio 1921. The scoreline was 1-0.

A quick return to home after this game, as Legnago are hosting Pro Vercelli in the Serie C: Girone A only four days away.
