Pescara form and stats

4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Pescara playing as the away team in the Serie C: Girone B this season. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Pescara are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Pescara goalkeeper Alessandro Sorrentino is eager to challenge this, with his 188 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Two travels in a row for Pescara, whose manager Auteri could celebrate last time after the Serie C: Girone B win against Imolese.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Pistoiese.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Pescara have scored 13 goals in 9 league games away. As opposed to that, Pescara have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.

Head 2 Head
