Olbia form and stats

The story so far in the Serie C: Girone B for Olbia at their home stadium (Stadio Bruno Nespoli) is 3 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Olbia, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Olbia are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 208 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by C. Travaglini).

Olbia are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Pescara.

Preceding that match was the home game against Modena that was lost 0-3.

This is expected to be a close game, with Olbia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Olbia as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Olbia has won four of these, drawn five and lost seven.

Olbia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 10 goals have been conceded.

Carrarese form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Carrarese so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose). Carrarese seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Carrarese play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Modena (placed 3rd).

A draw for Carrarese before that, at their own venue hosting Virtus Entella (1-1).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Carrarese playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were three Carrarese wins, five draws and seven defeats.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Carrarese concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Olbia victories, two draws and four Carrarese wins. Over/under statistics; seven of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
