Pontedera form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie C: Girone B, Pontedera have managed 7 wins, 4 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 17 games. Pontedera are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadio Ettore Mannucci, having lost their two previous games here.

An away draw last time out for Pontedera, facing Pescara in a game that ended 1-1.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Viterbese (0-2).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Pontedera have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won seven times, drawn four and lost two.

Pontedera are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 23 goals in 17 games. 23 goals have been conceded.

Olbia form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Olbia so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 3-7-7 (win-draw-lose). With three draws in a row for Olbia the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

Olbia are looking to quickly end their 180 minutes long goal drought in the Serie C: Girone B. 258 minutes! That's how long the Olbia goalkeeper Giuseppe Ciocci and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Olbia's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Teramo that finished 0-0.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Siena.

Olbia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, five draws and six defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

The visiting Olbia have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 18 goals from 17 games. 24 goals have been conceded by Olbia in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
