The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Montevarchi so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-6 (win-draw-lose). With the Montevarchi losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Two away games in a row for Montevarchi, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Sassari Torres.

A defeat, in the Coppa Italia Serie C away at Virtus Entella, before that. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Montevarchi's away games in the league this season with only {3 goals} from 7 matches. Montevarchi's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 12 goals from these trips.
