Pontedera form and stats

Pontedera have performed here at Stadio Ettore Mannucci this season with 5 wins from 8 Serie C: Girone B matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Pontedera after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The fans are hoping that Pontedera will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Serie C: Girone B game against Olbia (placed 11th).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Pescara in a game that was won 2-1.

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 14 games) they have won seven times, drawn four and lost three.

Goals decide football matches and Pontedera are scoring many of them at home; 16 on target from 8 league matches. On the other hand, Pontedera have conceded 8 goals.

Teramo form and stats

Teramo have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Serie C: Girone B, after 1-4-3 (8 played).

Teramo play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Carrarese (placed 13th). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Carrarese was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A loss against Sudtirol was the result prior to that, in a Coppa Italia Serie C home game.

We have checked recent matches where Teramo have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were four victories, two draws and four defeats.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Teramo have conceded 14 goals in these games. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Stats for the preceeding four meetings between these two participants are: zero wins for Pontedera, two draws and two wins for Teramo. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
