Here's another engrossing fixture in the Serie C: Girone C. ACR Messina is in the 18th position from playing two matches. They greet Viterbese who are placed 16th from two matches.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for ACR Messina and Viterbese.

ACR Messina form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first Serie C: Girone C game of the season here at Stadio Comunale Franco Scoglio. Last season these fans witnessed 7 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses from ACR Messina's 18 home games.

Messina's previous game was also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Viterbese (placed 16th). The home side are looking to build on that result.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Virtus Francavilla.

This is expected to be a close game, with ACR Messina perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with ACR Messina as a small favourite), we find 9 games. ACR Messina has won 6 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the ACR Messina at home in the league. 2 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Viterbese form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Serie C: Girone C ended in defeat. Last season Viterbese had these away match statistics: Played 19; won 6, drew 7 and lost 6. Viterbese seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Viterbese lost away at ACR Messina (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

A draw for Viterbese before that, at their own venue hosting Fidelis Andria (2-2).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Viterbese in our archives, and the results are: 7 wins for Viterbese, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

0 goals so far away for Viterbese, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 league match away.
