It's a brand new Serie C: Girone B campaign and Ancona are yearning to get on the pitch here at Stadio del Conero. Siena are visiting and this looks to be a rip-roaring season launch.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ancona and Siena.
Ancona form and stats
Last season, Ancona's league statistics were 16 wins, 9 draws and 13 losses, leading to 6th place in the Serie C: Girone B. In these 38 matches they scored 61 goals and conceded 50. Appearing as the home side in the last season Ancona managed 10-3-6 (win-draw-lost) with 30 goals and 26 conceded.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ancona have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 2 and lost 3.
Siena form and stats
Let's have a look at how Siena performed last season in the Serie C: Girone B: They landed a 13th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 14 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 40 and conceded 41 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 7 and lost 9 with 16/23 goals scored/conceded.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Siena playing away and similar expectations, we found 10 relevant matches. Results were 3 Siena wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats.
Siena played two friendlies in their break from official games, resulting in 0 victories, 2 draws and 0 defeats. In these two matches Siena scored 1 and conceded 1 goal.
Head 2 Head
