An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie C: Girone C, with both Bisceglie and Potenza Calcio experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 17th place.

  • Potenza Calcio has the the worst goal difference (-6) away in Serie C: Girone C

Bisceglie have less rest than Potenza Calcio in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie C: Girone C game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Monopoli, was also a home game here at Stadio Comunale Pino Zaccheria. The away team is better rested.

Bisceglie form and stats

Bisceglie have collected 4 points from their Serie C: Girone C home games so far after 1-1-2.

The spoils were shared in Bisceglie's previous game, also at home. Visiting Monopoli (placed 10th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Before that, Bisceglie played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Paganese.

The hometeam coach G. Mancini made a successful contribution in the game against Monopoli, bringing on A. Cittadino who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw.

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

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Bisceglie as they are travelling to their away game against Catania in the Serie C: Girone C. That match is three days after this one.

Bisceglie aren't scoring a lot here at Stadio Comunale Pino Zaccheria in the league, with only 3 goals from 4 games. Bisceglie have conceded 4 in these home matches.

Potenza Calcio form and stats

There's been little loot from Potenza Calcio's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 6 away games in the Serie C: Girone C. Potenza Calcio, who have the the worst goal difference (-6) away in Serie C: Girone C, only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws. It's a growing despair in Potenza Calcio as they have recorded three consecutive losses. Potenza seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Potenza are looking to quickly end their 208 minutes long goal drought in the Serie C: Girone C.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Potenza, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Palermo (placed 12th).
