19th- against 13th place might not feel all that inviting. But look: Here's the facts that makes Fidelis Andria - Taranto (even) more absorbing!

Insights:
  • Fidelis Andria have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Serie C: Girone C
  • Taranto have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Not a lot of time to rest for the hosting team, as they were involved in a Serie C: Girone C game only four days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Virtus Francavilla.

Fidelis Andria form and stats

With 1 Serie C: Girone C win, 5 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Fidelis Andria are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Fidelis Andria who hasn’t won a league-game in their last twelve attempts. Their previous win was against ACR Messina, 90 days ago.

Piazza was the last player to score a league goal for Fidelis Andria and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Fidelis haven't scored in 257 minutes.

Fidelis Andria faced defeat in their previous match, away at Virtus Francavilla (0-1).

Prior to that, an away loss at Avellino.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Fidelis as they are travelling to their away game against Sudtirol in the Coppa Italia Serie C. That match is four days after this one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Fidelis Andria here at Stadio Degli Ulivi in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 14 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Fidelis defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Taranto form and stats

Taranto have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Serie C: Girone C, after 2-3-7 (12 played).

Taranto are looking to quickly end their 180 minutes long goal drought in the Serie C: Girone C.

The manager Laterza was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Stadio Comunale Erasmo Iacovone. Taranto suffered a 0-1 loss to Catanzaro (placed 2nd).

A draw for Taranto before that, at their own venue hosting Virtus Francavilla (0-0).

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Taranto as they have only managed to score 10 times from 12 away games in the league. Taranto's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips.
