Siena form and stats

Siena have played 17 Serie C: Girone B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-5-5 (wins-draws-losses). The last three games played by Siena, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Siena drew their last game, also a home match. Lucchese (placed 9th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Olbia the opponent.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Siena have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost one.

Siena are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 23 goals in 17 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.

There's been little loot from Lucchese's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 17 away games in the Serie C: Girone B. Lucchese only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 6 draws.

Lucchese are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Siena (placed 12th).

Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Gubbio.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lucchese playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were three Lucchese wins, three draws and two defeats.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Lucchese have conceded 19 goals in these away matches.
