Recanatese form and stats

Recanatese's results here at Stadio Nicola Tubaldi in the Serie C: Girone B have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 2 defeats. The Recanatese manager Pagliari might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Recanatese's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Rimini (placed 11th).

In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Gubbio.

This is expected to be a close game, with Recanatese perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Recanatese as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Recanatese has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Rimini form and stats

2-2-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Rimini in their Serie C: Girone B matches away.

Rimini play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Recanatese (placed 13th). That win felt sweet as this club had gone five league matches without victory.

One match before, 1-1 at home hosting Vicenza (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) in the Coppa Italia Serie C. As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 9 similar matches played by Rimini in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Rimini, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
