Viterbese form and stats

Viterbese's results here at Stadio Enrico Rocchi in the Serie C: Girone C have been very modest with 2 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats. It's trouble wherever Viterbese are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Marotta was the last player to score a league goal for Viterbese and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Viterbese haven't scored in 278 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager Lopez led his Viterbese to a defeat away at Latina. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Enrico Rocchi. The defeat against Latina was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by Ganz).

Ahead of that match, Viterbese lost 0-1 at home to Juve Stabia.
