Carrarese form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie C: Girone B, Carrarese have managed 5 wins, 5 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 11 games. Carrarese haven’t lost a league-game in twelve attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Olbia, 101 days ago.

The home team returns to Stadio dei Marmi after drawing with Montevarchi (placed 17th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Reggiana.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Carrarese have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 19 games) they have won seven times, drawn six and lost six.

There will be little rest for Carrarese after this match as they are travelling to Pistoiese for a Serie C: Girone B game in only four days.

A decent goal production from Carrarese in their home games so far, with 17 goals from 11 league matches. From these home matches, Carrarese have conceded only 9 goals.

Imolese form and stats

3-4-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Imolese in their Serie C: Girone B matches away. It's a growing despair in Imolese as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

The attacking players of Imolese have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 270 minutes.

The manager Fontana was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Stadio Romeo Galli. Imolese suffered a 0-2 loss to Ancona (placed 5th).

Prior to that match, the Imolese manager Fontana faced defeat when travelling to Pontedera and losing 0-2.

Imolese are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is seven wins, seven draws and eight defeats. From a total of 22 matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Imolese are hosting Olbia in the Serie C: Girone B only four days away.

The visiting Imolese have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 14 goals from 12 games. Imolese have conceded 19 goals in these games.
