This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie C: Girone C, Paganese holding 15th place and Monopoli lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Insights:
  • Paganese have yet to win a game at home.
  • Monopoli has the most conceded goals in the first half (13) in Serie C: Girone C

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Serie C: Girone C. That game was also an away game, at Avellino. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Paganese form and stats

With 0 Serie C: Girone C wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Paganese are certainly not brimming with confidence. Paganese are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadio Marcello Torre with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Ternana match.

The Paganese crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Bari 1908 here at Stadio Marcello Torre in a Serie C: Girone C match. Before that, Paganese played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Juve Stabia.

This is expected to be a close game, with Paganese perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Paganese as a small favourite), we find seven games. Paganese has won one of these, drawn five and lost one.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie C: Girone C game versus Foggia in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadio Marcello Torre.

Paganese have scored 3 goals here in 7 league matches, a depressing statistic. Paganese have conceded 8 in these home matches.

Monopoli form and stats

2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Monopoli playing as the away team in the Serie C: Girone C this season. It's looking increasingly bleak for Monopoli who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Bisceglie was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Monopoli's last three away games as they have all been lost.

A loss against Foggia was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Monopoli lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Monopoli playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were seven Monopoli wins, four draws and four defeats.

After this away game Monopoli return home for a Serie C: Girone C game against Potenza Calcio. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Monopoli's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 12 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Paganese won four games, two matches ended with a draw and Monopoli has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / eight
