FC Rieti form and stats

FC Rieti's struggle is real here at Stadio Centro d'Italia - Manlio Scopigno with only 6 points collected from 10 Serie C: Girone C games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-6. It's trouble wherever FC Rieti are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

In their previous game, the manager R. Beni led his FC Rieti to a defeat in the Serie C: Girone C match away at Ternana. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Centro d'Italia - Manlio Scopigno. Heartbreak before that as FC Rieti lost 2-5 at Bari 1908's place.

The FC Rieti fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 10 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the FC Rieti defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
