Viterbese form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie C: Girone B, Viterbese have managed 1 win, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 5 games.

Viterbese are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Lucchese.

Ahead of that match, Viterbese won a home game hosting Siena (2-0).

This is expected to be a close game, with Viterbese perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Viterbese as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Viterbese has won seven of these, drawn five and lost three.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Viterbese as they are travelling to their away game against Ancona in the Coppa Italia Serie C. That match is four days after this one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Viterbese here at Stadio Enrico Rocchi in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 5 games). Viterbese's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Ancona form and stats

1-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Ancona in their Serie C: Girone B matches away. Ancona has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Ancona's previous game was their home loss versus Fermana (1-2).

A 1-3 defeat away at Reggiana before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ancona playing away and similar expectations, we found one relevant match. Results were one Ancona win, zero draws and zero defeats.

A new game in only four days for Ancona, the Coppa Italia Serie C home match versus Viterbese. Busy days.

Ancona have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 6 goals have been scored. Ancona have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
