The Fidelis Andria goalkeeper Umberto Saracco is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 184 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie C: Girone C.

The Fidelis coach Leo and his side return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Bari 1908 (placed 1st).

ACR Messina form and stats

There's been little loot from ACR Messina's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 17 away games in the Serie C: Girone C. ACR Messina only have 3 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 4 draws.

Impressive finishing from Morelli secured the home win 1-0 against Latina in their previous game.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Avellino.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with ACR Messina playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were three ACR Messina wins, four draws and four defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Messina have scored 20 goals in 17 league games away. The ACR Messina manager Raciti has some worries about the defense as 37 goals have been conceded in these travels. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
