Gubbio form and stats

Gubbio, who have the most scored goals (25) in Serie C: Girone B, have played 8 Serie C: Girone B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Raffaele Di Gennaro not having conceded a league goal in 282 minutes.

It's back home for Gubbio, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Vis Pesaro away with the result 4-0. Morelli, Mbakogu, Spina and Vázquez found the net in that victory. As mentioned above, Gubbio "killed" Vis Pesaro in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Ahead of that match, Gubbio won a home game hosting San Donato Tavarnelle (1-0).

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 Gubbio have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 6 and lost 0.

Gubbio are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. From these home matches, Gubbio have conceded only 7 goals.
