Olbia form and stats

6-3-7 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie C: Girone B numbers at home for Olbia so far this season.

The spoils were shared in Olbia's previous game, also at home. Visiting Siena (placed 12th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline.

A 1-1 draw away before that, with Carrarese the opponent.

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 six of these, drawn four and lost six.

The Olbia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 16 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Olbia have conceded 19 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Siena form and stats

There's been little loot from Siena's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 17 away games in the Serie C: Girone B. Siena only have 2 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 6 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

Siena has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Olbia for a 0-0 draw.

A 1-1 draw at Modena's stadium before that.

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

The visitors have scored 14 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Siena have seen the ball go into their own net 22 times on the road.
