Taranto form and stats

Taranto have played 14 Serie C: Girone C games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-7-1 (wins-draws-losses). Taranto has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Laterza and the players.

Saraniti was the last player to score a league goal for Taranto and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Taranto haven't scored in 270 minutes.

The Taranto club members got no joy from their last match, also played here at Stadio Comunale Erasmo Iacovone: A 0-1 defeat against Foggia (placed 9th).

Prior to that, an away loss at Fidelis Andria.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Taranto have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won one, drawn five and lost two.

The Taranto fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 14 matches.
