Fermana form and stats

Fermana have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Serie C: Girone B, after 2-5-4 (11 played). With three draws in a row for Fermana the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

Fermana's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Montevarchi that finished 1-1.

Before that, Fermana travelled to Cesena and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Fermana in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for Fermana, 9 draws and 4 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Fermana now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie C: Girone B game at Virtus Entella is waiting in only four days.

The visiting Fermana have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 15 goals from 11 games. Fermana's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips.
