Viterbese form and stats

Viterbese's struggle is real here at Stadio Enrico Rocchi with only 10 points collected from 14 Serie C: Girone B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-4-8. Game days at Stadio Enrico Rocchi have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Viterbese as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

The Viterbese crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Modena here at Stadio Enrico Rocchi.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Grosseto and winning 1-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Viterbese have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites).

There will be little rest for Viterbese after this match as they are travelling to Robur Siena for a Serie C: Girone B game in only four days.
