Taranto form and stats

15 points is a decent return from 7 Serie C: Girone C games here at Stadio Comunale Erasmo Iacovone for Taranto. The data says 5 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses.

The Taranto club members enjoyed the previous fixture, watching their team host Viterbese and win 2-1. Manager Capuano felt very clever after Diaby scored the winning goal against Viterbese, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 72nd minute.

Prior to that, an away loss at Picerno.

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 12 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 5 and lost 2.

Taranto are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. Taranto have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Viterbese form and stats

There's been little loot from Viterbese's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the Serie C: Girone C. Viterbese only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws.

There might be some fixture complaints from Viterbese as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 1-2 against Taranto.

Ahead of that game was the 3-3 draw at home against Potenza Calcio.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Viterbese playing away and similar expectations, we found 10 relevant matches. Results were 3 Viterbese wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Viterbese as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. 8 goals have been conceded by Viterbese in these games.

Head 2 Head

Taranto - Viterbese 2-1 was the score in these participants' last H2H fixture, earlier this season.
