Pistoiese form and stats

Game days at Stadio Marcello Melani have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Pistoiese as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Pistoiese drew their last game, 1-1 away at Imolese (placed 8th).

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Carrarese.

Pistoiese has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 4 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Pistoiese with 9 goals conceded in these matches.

Montevarchi form and stats

S. Jallow was the last player to score for the away team. Montevarchi haven't scored a league goal in the last 191 minutes.

Home advantage was not enough for Montevarchi in their previous game, as they lost their Serie C: Girone B-match, hosting Olbia, 0-2.

Prior to that match, the Montevarchi manager R. Malotti faced defeat when travelling to Ancona and losing 0-2.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Montevarchi as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. Montevarchi's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.
