Virtus Verona form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie C: Girone B, Virtus Verona have managed 3 wins, 10 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 15 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Virtus with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Triestina game, 28 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Virtus, their manager L. Fresco and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Virtus are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Mantova. Preceding that match was the home game against Gubbio that was lost 0-1.

Virtus has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 15 matches. Virtus have only conceded 12 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Fano form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fano so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 2-8-5 (win-draw-lose).

Fano aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 221 league minutes without a goal. A. Polidori was the last player to find the net.

Fano might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Arezzo proved too strong as Fano slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Raffaele Mancini. Prior to that match, the Fano manager F. Destro faced defeat when travelling to Legnago Salus and losing 0-3.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Fano as they have only managed to score 10 times from 15 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Fano have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.
