Nuova Monterosi open their doors to Virtus Francavilla for another engrossing Serie C: Girone C match here at Stadio Marcello Martoni.

Nuova Monterosi form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Nuova Monterosi's two home games in the Serie C: Girone C so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadio Marcello Martoni.

Parlati was the last player to score a league goal for Nuova Monterosi and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Nuova Monterosi haven't scored in 202 minutes.

The fans are hoping that Nuova Monterosi will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against Crotone (placed 1st).

Before that game, the home loss against Juve Stabia with the scoreline 0-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Monterosi have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 9 matches with the results: Won 6, drawn 1 and lost 2.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Nuova Monterosi at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Virtus Francavilla form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Serie C: Girone C for Virtus Francavilla with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

Patierno scored in Virtus Francavilla's previous match, the home game against Gelbison that ended 1-0.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Foggia wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Virtus Francavilla playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 4 Virtus Francavilla wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

2 goals so far away for Virtus Francavilla, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
