The story so far in the Serie C: Girone B for Siena at their home stadium (Stadio Comunale Artemio Franchi - Montepaschi Arena) is 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Favalli was the last player to score a league goal for Siena and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Siena haven't scored in 187 minutes.

Siena are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Reggiana. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going undefeated in three league rounds. As you see from the result above, Siena suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Before that, Siena drew at home versus Ancona.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Siena matches with similar probabilities have ended with 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat (from 5 games).

Imolese form and stats

Imolese have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 510 minutes ago. Zagnoni was the goal scorer.

Imolese's previous game was their home loss versus Lucchese (0-2).

A 0-2 defeat away at Alessandria before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Imolese playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 1 away win, 3 draws and 1 home win.
