Calcio Padova form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (66) in Serie C: Girone B, on their Serie C: Girone B travels is 10 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

Calcio go into this game after a win, the home game against Gubbio that ended 1-0. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Triestina wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Calcio playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Calcio Padova win, one draw and three defeats.

The travelling fans enjoy Calcio's attacking play in away games, having scored 31 goals in 17 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Calcio Padova as they have only conceded 15 goals from these away games.
