The Triestina & Juventus U23 bosses Bucchi and Zauli are both afraid of and looking forward to this crucial game in the higher part of the Serie C: Girone A league table.

Insights:
  • Triestina have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Juventus U23 haven’t played a single 0-0 game.

It's no vacation for neither Triestina nor Juventus U23 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.

Triestina form and stats

Triestina have played 11 Serie C: Girone A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-5-2 (wins-draws-losses). Triestina has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Bucchi and the players.

Stress levels are on the rise for Triestina's attacking players as they have now played 270 minutes without scoring in a league game. Gomez was their last goal scorer.

No payout for Triestina in their previous match, an away game at Lecco that ended in defeat 0-2.

Prior to that, an away loss at Südtirol.

This is expected to be a close game, with Triestina perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Triestina as a small favourite), we find five games. Triestina has won two of these, drawn one and lost two.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Pro Sesto are coming to town in four days.

Triestina are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. Triestina have conceded 12 in these home matches.

Juventus U23 form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Juventus U23 so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 3-2-6 (win-draw-lose).

Aké scored in Juventus U23's previous match, the home game against FeralpiSalò that ended 1-0.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Pro Vercelli wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Juventus U23 playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were six Juventus U23 wins, four draws and six defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Juventus U23 manager Zauli as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Giana Erminio.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Juventus U23's away games in the league this season with only 10 goals from 11 matches. Many goals are not expected from the visiting Juventus as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. Juventus U23 have conceded 17 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Juventus U23 - Triestina 2-1 was the product when this pair of teams formerly played each other, also in this season.
