It's match week two of the Serie C: Girone B season and everything to play for. Read our detailed preview of Viterbese Castrense-Imolese!

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Viterbese Castrense form and stats

The season before, Viterbese Castrense's league stats were 9 wins, 13 draws and 14 losses, providing 12th position in the Serie C: Girone C. Over these 36 matches they scored 36 goals and conceded 42. Playing at home in the last season Viterbese Castrense managed 5-5-8 (win-draw-lost) with 18 goals and 21 conceded.

The home team returns to Stadio Enrico Rocchi after being equal after 90 minutes with Fermana (placed 7th) on their last time out; the Serie C: Girone B game ended 3-3. Late drama in the game against Fermana as Viterbese were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Luan Capanni popped out and made it level in the 90th minute. A goal frenzy last time out for Viterbese, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Fermana. Fun stuff to watch! The hometeam coach A. Dal Canto made a successful contribution in the game against Fermana, bringing on Luan Capanni who scored the equalizer in the 3-3 draw.

Before that, Viterbese had a Coppa Italia Serie C home game versus Gubbio which ended with a victory 2-1.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Viterbese matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, zero draws and one defeat (from four games).

Imolese form and stats

Let's have a look at how Imolese performed last season in the Serie C: Girone B: They landed a 17th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 8 draws and 21 defeats. In total they scored 34 and conceded 55 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 2 and lost 12 with 19/31 goals scored/conceded.

Imolese aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 249 league minutes without a goal. A. Provenzano was the last player to find the net.

Imolese's previous game was their home loss versus Lucchese (0-1).

Before that, Imolese secured a home win against Carrarese with the score 2-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Imolese playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and zero home wins.
