Lucchese form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Lucchese so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-4 (win-draw-lose).

The Lucchese goalkeeper Jacopo Coletta is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 296 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Lucchese had fun at their own home (Stadio Adriatico-Giovanni Cornacchia) last time out, beating Robur Siena 1-0. E. Visconti scored.

Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Gubbio.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Lucchese playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, zero draws and two home wins.

The attacking power of Lucchese when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Lucchese have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
