Siena form and stats

Siena have played 12 Serie C: Girone B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-3-4 (wins-draws-losses).

Siena's last game was hosting Teramo (placed 17th) and winning 2-1.

Prior to that, an away loss at Reggiana.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Siena's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played nine games, won two matches, drawn five and lost two.

Siena are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 12 games. Siena's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 14 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Montevarchi form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Montevarchi so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-9 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Montevarchi, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Montevarchi, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-5 versus Virtus Entella (placed 5th).

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Pontedera.

The attacking power of Montevarchi when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 12 league matches away. The Montevarchi manager Malotti has some worries about the defense as 27 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The participants have played each other previously this season, with the final score Montevarchi - Siena 0-3 written in the official records. H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Siena one win, zero draws and Montevarchi two victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
