Potenza Calcio form and stats

5 victories, 6 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Potenza Calcio have to build on here at Stadio Comunale Alfredo Viviani in the Serie C: Girone C. When Potenza Calcio hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Potenza Calcio, Paganese, Vibonese, Campobasso, ACR Messina and Fidelis Andria), they have won 2 of 4 matches! Two draws in a row at home now for Potenza Calcio.

The home fans saw a 1-1 draw versus Taranto last time out and are looking for a win here.

Before that match, a win away at Latina.

This is expected to be a close game, with Potenza Calcio perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Potenza Calcio as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Potenza has won four of these, drawn three and lost six.

The Potenza Calcio fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 15 matches.

Taranto form and stats

Taranto have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Serie C: Girone C, after 2-4-9 (15 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Taranto, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Turris game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Taranto are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Potenza Calcio (placed 18th).

Prior to that match, the Taranto manager Laterza faced defeat when travelling to Vibonese and losing 0-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Taranto in our archives, and the results are: one win for Taranto, three draws and three defeats.

The attacking power of Taranto when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 15 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Taranto have conceded 24 goals in their away games.
