Pescara form and stats

5-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie C: Girone C numbers at home for Pescara so far this season. With Pescara having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager Colombo.

Desogus was the last player to score a league goal for Pescara and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Pescara haven't scored in 234 minutes.

The regulars are hoping that Pescara will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Avellino (placed 7th).

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

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Pescara's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 5 games, won 1 match, drawn 3 and lost 1.

Pescara has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.

Latina form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Latina so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-4 (win-draw-lose).

Latina failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Foggia (placed 8th) that ended with defeat 1-5. That defeat was their first after four consecutive league fixtures winning points. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Foggia was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Fidelis Andria.

Observe: 8 of the latest 10 league matches featuring this side have had only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting).

Latina have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 11 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, Latina have conceded 17 goals in their away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Latina - Pescara 1-2 was the story when this pair of contenders last met, some time ago this season. As for the last seven games between these two teams, there's three Pescara victories, two draws and two Latina wins. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
