ACR Messina form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for ACR Messina so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, ACR Messina are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The attacking players of Messina have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 225 minutes.

Messina might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Avellino proved too strong as ACR Messina slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Comunale Franco Scoglio.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Catanzaro wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by ACR Messina in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Messina, three draws and three defeats.

ACR Messina have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. The ACR Messina manager E. Capuano has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
