Pistoiese form and stats

Pistoiese have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Serie C: Girone B, after 1-3-8 (12 played). Pistoiese are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Viterbese fixture.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Pistoiese, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-6 versus Grosseto (placed 18th).

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Vis Pesaro.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Pistoiese manager Alessandrini has some worries about the defense as 25 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This was the final score when the sides faced each other previously this campaign; Pistoiese - Ancona 0-4. Data for the last five meetings between these two squads are: three wins for Ancona, two draws and zero wins for Pistoiese. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
