Viterbese form and stats

Viterbese's struggle is real here at Stadio Enrico Rocchi with only 13 points collected from 13 Serie C: Girone C games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-4-6.

Viterbese's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Monopoli (placed 8th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Sweet to taste a league victory after five matches without.

Heartbreak before that as Viterbese lost 0-1 at Latina's place.

The Viterbese fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 13 matches. Viterbese have conceded 22 from these games. When Viterbese hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Potenza Calcio, Turris, Gelbison, ACR Messina, Nuova Monterosi and Fidelis Andria), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
