Alessandria form and stats

Alessandria's struggle is real here at Stadio Giuseppe Moccagatta with only 16 points collected from 17 Serie C: Girone B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-7-7. When Alessandria hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Gubbio, Virtus Entella, Reggiana, Cesena and Carrarese), they have won 2 of 4 matches! Two draws in a row at home now for Alessandria.

In their previous game, the manager Longo led his Alessandria to a defeat away at Olbia. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Giuseppe Moccagatta. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after collecting points through three league games. As you see from the result above, Alessandria suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

In the match before that, Alessandria hosted Fiorenzuola and drew the game 1-1.

Not much happening? In this club's last 12 league matches, 9 have produced zero, one or two goals.

Alessandria's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 22 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. When Alessandria hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Olbia, Imolese, San Donato Tavarnelle, Montevarchi, Sassari Torres and Vis Pesaro), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.

Ancona form and stats

A 1-1 draw at Sassari Torres's stadium before that.
