Competition: Italy Serie C: Girone B
Date: Sun 22.December
Match begins: 16:30 (UTC)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 20th place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Imolese form and stats

With 1 Serie C: Girone B win, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Imolese are certainly not brimming with confidence.

F. Boccardi was the last player to score a league goal for Imolese and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Imolese haven't scored in 225 minutes.

The Imolese fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie C: Girone B game also here: A 0-3 defeat against Vicenza (placed 1st). Heartbreak before that as Imolese lost 0-2 at Padova's place.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Imolese handle that role? We have found five games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The win/draw/lost stats in these games are W3-D1-L1.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Imolese here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 10 games). Imolese's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 14 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Rimini form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Rimini so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-6 (win-draw-lose). With the Rimini losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Rimini are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Rimini have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 240 minutes ago. L. Zamparo was the goal scorer.

Rimini failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie C: Girone B home match vs Triestina (placed 11th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Piacenza's place.

We have checked recent matches where Rimini have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were W0-D3-L4.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Rimini manager G. Colella has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Rimini - Imolese 2-1. Imolese-Rimini H2H statistics last eight meetings regardless of arena: Imolese 1 win, Rimini 5 wins, 2 draws. 5 of these eight matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
