Siena form and stats

2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Siena playing as the away team in the Serie C: Girone B this season.

The supporters enjoyed Siena's previous game versus Olbia (placed 13th), a Serie C: Girone B 3-2 win played at home. Ó. Karlsson came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Olbia last time out, making the manager M. Maddaloni feel like a tactical genius.

A 1-2 loss hosting Modena before that.
