An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 17th place.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

FC Rieti form and stats

FC Rieti's results here in the Serie C: Girone C have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 5 defeats. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on FC Rieti to get some points in this home game.

The FC Rieti fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie C: Girone C game also here: A 1-4 defeat against Catania (placed 7th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Avellino (1-3).

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 FC Rieti 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.

FC Rieti are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. FC Rieti have conceded 16 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Bisceglie form and stats

There's been little loot from Bisceglie's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the Serie C: Girone C. Bisceglie only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. Bisceglie are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Avellino fixture.

Bisceglie are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Cavese (placed 12th). Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Paganese.

We have checked recent matches where Bisceglie have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were W2-D2-L8.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bisceglie as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Bisceglie have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

FC Rieti-Bisceglie H2H statistics last two meetings regardless of arena: FC Rieti 2 wins, Bisceglie 0 wins, 0 draws. 0 of these two matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
