It's no vacation for neither Vibonese nor Monopoli as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Vibonese form and stats
Vibonese have collected 18 points from their Serie C: Girone C home games so far after 5-3-2.
The Vibonese fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie C: Girone C game also here at Stadio Luigi Razza: A 0-1 defeat against Cavese (placed 11th). A 1-1 draw away before that, with Avellino the opponent.
This is expected to be a close game, with Vibonese perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Vibonese as a small favourite), we find ten games. Vibonese has won 6 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.
There will be little rest for Vibonese after this match as they are travelling to Rende for a Serie C: Girone C game in only three days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (20 in 10 games), Vibonese's attacking play is working. Vibonese are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio Luigi Razza in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 10 matches.
Monopoli form and stats
6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Monopoli playing as the away team in the Serie C: Girone C this season. Monopoli love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Monopoli play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Catanzaro (placed 6th). A loss against Paganese was the result prior to that, in a home game.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Monopoli playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 5 Monopoli wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.
A new game in only four days for Monopoli, the Serie C: Girone C home match versus Ternana. Busy days.
