Vibonese form and stats

There's been little loot from Vibonese's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 8 away games in the Serie C: Girone C. Vibonese only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on D'Agostino, the Vibonese manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Home advantage was not enough for Vibonese in their previous game, as they lost their Serie C: Girone C-match, hosting Avellino, 0-1.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Campobasso.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Vibonese played away with similar odds. This revealed three games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, one were draw and the home team won as expected two times.

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

Vibonese are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 8 away games. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 11 goals have been conceded by Vibonese in these games. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
