This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie C: Girone C, Bisceglie holding 17th place and Rende lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Bisceglie form and stats

Bisceglie's struggle is real here at Stadio Gustavo Ventura with only 5 points collected from 9 Serie C: Girone C games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-5-4. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 15 attempts. With nine home games in a row without a win, the Bisceglie fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Catanzaro game long ago, can be stopped today.

The fans are hoping that Bisceglie will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Serie C: Girone C game against Catanzaro (placed 6th). In the match before that, Bisceglie hosted Vibonese and drew the game 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bisceglie have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won 1 time, drawn 0 and lost 0.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Bisceglie here at Stadio Gustavo Ventura in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 9 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.

Rende form and stats

Rende have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Serie C: Girone C, after 0-3-6 (9 played). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Rende are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Rende's last game was the home draw against Casertana (2-2). Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against FC Rieti.

Rende are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. From a total of nine matches.

The attacking power of Rende when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 9 league matches away. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Rende's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 23 goals in 9 travels.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Rende - Bisceglie 0-1 played earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: 2 - 2 - 1 (Bisceglie wins - draws - Rende wins). As for goals, 2 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 3 had two or less.
