Fiorenzuola form and stats

It's not happening yet for Fiorenzuola on their Serie C: Girone B travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With two straight losses from their last two away games, Fiorenzuola are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Fiorenzuola are travelling again after losing away to Ancona in their previous match (0-2).

Prior to that match, the Fiorenzuola manager Tabbiani faced defeat when travelling to Vis Pesaro and losing 0-1.

Fiorenzuola are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of 10 matches.

0 goals so far away for Fiorenzuola, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
