Virtus Verona hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 8 points and a 14th position in the Serie C: Girone B table. Visiting Matelica Calcio holds 11th place with 11 pts.
Virtus Verona and Matelica Calcio should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Virtus Verona form and stats
Virtus Verona have played three Serie C: Girone B home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. The home fans are hungry for more even though Virtus have been steadily collecting points here at Stadio Comunale Gavagnin-Nocini through three straight draws.
An away draw last time out for Virtus Verona, facing Triestina in a game that ended 1-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Ravenna (0-2).
This is expected to be a close game, with Virtus perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Virtus Verona as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Virtus Verona has won four of these, drawn two and lost five.
Virtus Verona have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Defensively Virtus have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Matelica Calcio form and stats
Matelica Calcio are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie C: Girone B, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). Matelica Calcio has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
There were no winners in Matelica's previous match, a Serie C: Girone B home game that ended 2-2 vs Arezzo (placed 20th). Prior to that match, the Matelica manager P. Battistini faced defeat when travelling to Mantova and losing 2-5.
It looked so good for Matelica vs Arezzo, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Matelica Calcio in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Matelica, one draw and two defeats.
The visiting Matelica have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 3 games. The Matelica manager P. Battistini has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
