It's early days in the Serie C: Girone C and both Paganese and Virtus Francavilla are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It's no vacation for neither Paganese nor Virtus Francavilla as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Paganese form and stats
Paganese are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two Serie C: Girone C games here at Stadio Marcello Torre.

Virtus Francavilla form and stats
