No payout for Siena in their previous match, an away game at Sassari Torres that ended in defeat 0-2. Before that beating this club had gone seven consecutive league meetings without a loss.
In the match before that, Siena hosted Cesena and drew the game 0-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

One fact: This side have played 7 league fixtures in a row with only one (or none) club scoring.
