Fermana form and stats

5-9-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie C: Girone B numbers at home for Fermana so far this season. When Fermana hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Imolese, Fermana, Grosseto, Siena, Viterbese and Pistoiese), they have won 3 of 5 matches!

Fermana suffered an unpredictable loss 1-2 against Reggiana in their previous match, also played at home.

Before that, Fermana played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Imolese.

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 Fermana have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 15 matches with the results: Won six, drawn six and lost three.

Fermana are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 18 games.

Olbia form and stats

There's been little loot from Olbia's travels as they have only collected 17 points from 18 away games in the Serie C: Girone B. Olbia only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 8 draws. Sharing is caring, but Olbia are perhaps overdoing it with their five draws in a row.

Olbia's last game was the home draw against Vis Pesaro (1-1).

A 1-1 draw at Pontedera's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Olbia playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were two Olbia wins, seven draws and four defeats.

The visiting Olbia have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 19 goals from 18 games. 25 goals have been conceded by Olbia in these games.
