Imolese faced defeat in their previous match, away at Modena (1-2). Heartbreak for Imolese in their last match as Modena's Gagno scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Fermana that ended 1-1.

The Imolese fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 18 matches. Imolese's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 21 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
