There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Potenza Calcio leading Picerno by 16 points.

The hosts Potenza Calcio saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Coppa Italia Serie C. This match was also played here at Stadio Alfredo Viviani. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Picerno have had more rest.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Picerno have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 15-11-14 (win-draw-loss) from 40 matches.
