The ACR Messina crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Juve Stabia here at Stadio Comunale Franco Scoglio.

Before that match, a win away at Vibonese.

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 ACR Messina have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won four, drawn one and lost two.

Messina are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 15 games. ACR Messina's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Two trips in a row for Juve Stabia, whose manager Novellino could celebrate last time after the win against ACR Messina.

A loss against Monopoli was the result prior to that, in a home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Stabia playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were three Juve Stabia wins, five draws and seven defeats.
