Avellino form and stats

Avellino have collected 8 points from their Serie C: Girone C home games so far after 2-2-3.

The Avellino crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Ternana here at Stadio Partenio-Adriano Lombardi in a Serie C: Girone C match. Before that game, the 4-2 home victory against Bisceglie.

The defeat against Ternana was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by L. Laverone).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Avellino's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won three matches, drawn one and lost zero.

The manager P. Braglia will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bari 1908 in only four days.

A decent goal production from Avellino in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Avellino defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Monopoli form and stats

2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Monopoli playing as the away team in the Serie C: Girone C this season. Three has not been a lucky number for Monopoli as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Bisceglie match. Monopoli has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

The manager G. Scienza was unhappy after their last game, a Serie C: Girone C match played at their home ground Stadio Vito Simone Veneziani. Monopoli suffered a 2-3 loss to Foggia (placed 5th). A 1-2 defeat away at Casertana before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Monopoli when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning one game.

The schedule is very tough for Monopoli now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie C: Girone C game at Paganese is waiting in only four days.

Monopoli find the net regularly in their away games. 6 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Monopoli have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
