With the edgy opening match out of the way it’s time for the second Serie C: Girone B meeting of the season. Imolese look forward to welcoming Alessandria in front of their home following.

Home statistics for Imolese last season were 5 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses from 19 games.

A nice win for Imolese last time playing, versus Alessandria. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0.

Alessandria form and stats

Let's have a look at how Alessandria performed last season in the Serie B: They landed a 18th position in the league table after playing out 8 victories, 10 draws and 20 defeats. In total they scored 37 and conceded 59 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 4 and lost 12 with 21/36 goals scored/conceded. The visitors' first away game in the Serie C: Girone B ended in defeat. Last season Alessandria had these away match statistics: Played 19; won 3, drew 4 and lost 12.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Alessandria, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Imolese (placed 5th).

The game before that, in the Serie B, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Vicenza.

Alessandria are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 11 matches.

0 goals so far away for Alessandria, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.

The two duelists also met each other previously this campaign: Imolese - Alessandria 1-0.
