Carrarese form and stats

There's been little loot from Carrarese's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 10 away games in the Serie C: Girone B. Carrarese only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Carrarese have lost on their last two travels.

Carrarese might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. San Donato Tavarnelle proved too strong as Carrarese slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio dei Marmi.

Preceding that game, the 2-4 loss visiting Recanatese's place.

The visiting Carrarese have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 12 goals from 10 games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Carrarese have conceded 17 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
