It's still early in the Serie C: Girone B season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Fano - Sambenedettese preview!

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Fano form and stats

A Serie C: Girone B draw at home so far for Fano. Last season their home statistics were 2 wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats from 14 matches. The last three games played by Fano, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Calcio Padova that ended 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Fano perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Fano as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Fano has won three of these, drawn three and lost seven.

Fano has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Sambenedettese form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Serie C: Girone B ended in defeat. Last season Sambenedettese had these away match statistics: Played 13; won 4, drew 3 and lost 6.

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Gubbio.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sambenedettese playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were four Sambenedettese wins, seven draws and four defeats.

It's early days yet, but Sambenedettese has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Fano, six draws and four wins for Sambenedettese. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: eight games.
