Vibonese form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie C: Girone C this season. Vibonese have only managed 2 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Stadio Luigi Razza.

The Vibonese crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Virtus Francavilla here at Stadio Luigi Razza.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Turris (0-2).

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 13 games. Vibonese has won four of these, drawn six and lost three.

Vibonese have scored 10 league goals here from 12 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Vibonese have conceded 15 in these home matches. Vibonese has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 4 of 4 times.

Paganese form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Paganese so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-9 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row.

The manager Grassadonia was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Stadio Marcello Torre. Paganese suffered a 1-2 loss to Latina (placed 9th).

A 1-2 loss hosting Bari 1908 before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Paganese playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were zero Paganese wins, three draws and four defeats.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Paganese, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

It's not the first time these sides meet on the pitch this season, as the statistics show this recent game: Paganese - Vibonese 1-0. Head-2-head stats last nine meetings: one - six - two (Vibonese wins - draws - Paganese wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
