Montevarchi form and stats

6 victories, 5 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Montevarchi have to build on here at Stadio Gastone Brilli Peri in the Serie C: Girone B.

A strong away win for Montevarchi against Teramo the last match, as Giordani were on target.

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

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Montevarchi have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won five, drawn two and lost one.

Montevarchi are traveling soon after this match as the Serie C: Girone B match at Imolese awaits in four days.

The Montevarchi fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 15 matches. On the other hand, Montevarchi have conceded 18 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Lucchese form and stats

There's been little loot from Lucchese's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 15 away games in the Serie C: Girone B. Lucchese only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 5 draws.

The Lucchese goalkeeper Jacopo Coletta is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 379 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Lucchese go into this game after a win, the home game against Reggiana that ended 1-0.

Prior to that result Lucchese won their away game at Viterbese. The scoreline was 1-0.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Lucchese in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Lucchese, three draws and two defeats.

After this away game Lucchese return home for a Serie C: Girone B game against Gubbio. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Lucchese have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Montevarchi and Lucchese have duelled earlier this season: Lucchese - Montevarchi 2-0.
