Fiorenzuola form and stats

Fiorenzuola have collected 19 points from their Serie C: Girone B home games so far after 6-1-5. Game days at Stadio Comunale have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Fiorenzuola as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Fiorenzuola enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Lucchese's place. The match ended 1-0. Finally, a league victory after five games without.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Ancona (0-1).

The manager Tabbiani will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Reggiana in only three days.

Imolese form and stats

There's been little loot from Imolese's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 11 away games in the Serie C: Girone B. Imolese only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. With the Imolese losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

The attacking players of Imolese have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 690 minutes.

The manager Anastasi was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Stadio Romeo Galli. Imolese suffered a 0-1 loss to Sassari Torres (placed 13th).

A 0-1 defeat away at Siena before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Imolese playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 1 away win, 3 draws and 1 home win.
