Paganese form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Paganese's two home games in the Serie C: Girone C so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stadio Marcello Torre.

Paganese's previous game was a Serie C: Girone C match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Catania (placed 14th). The home side are looking to build on that result. C. Sussi was on the receiving end of a red card in the Paganese-Catania match, being sent off in the 51st minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 1-0 victory. The victory against Catania came after A. Diop's winning goal. The Paganese manager G. Grassadonia was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 46th minute.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Latina (0-2).

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 Paganese have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won four, drawn six and lost zero.

Paganese has scored 5 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
