Vibonese form and stats

Vibonese have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Serie C: Girone C, after 0-4-10 (14 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 15 away games in a row.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Palermo (placed 6th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 0-0.

Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus ACR Messina.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vibonese as they have only managed to score 9 times from 14 away games in the league. Vibonese's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 25 goals from these trips.
