Cavese form and stats

With 0 Serie C: Girone C wins, 0 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Cavese, who have the the worst goal difference (-14) in Serie C: Girone C, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Zero (!) Serie C: Girone C points is the sad result after 7 matches here at Stadio Comunale Simonetta Lamberti. Can it change today? With seven home Serie C: Girone C games in a row without a win, the Cavese fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Vibonese game long ago, can be stopped today.

Cavese shared the glory with Catania in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Before that game, the home loss against Casertana with the scoreline 0-1.
