Turris form and stats

4 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Turris, who have the most conceded goals (41) in Serie C: Girone C, playing as the away team in the Serie C: Girone C this season. When Turris is visiting a side on the top half, they have won 2 of 2 matches. Juve Stabia, Foggia, Picerno, Crotone and Pescara is teams we like to compare Catanzaro with.

Turris might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. SSC Giugliano proved too strong as Turris slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Amerigo Liguori. That defeat was their first after three consecutive league games winning points.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Picerno.

A new game in only four days for Turris, the Serie C: Girone C home match versus Nuova Monterosi. Busy days.

Turris are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 14 away goals from 11 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Turris have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
