Finally! The Serie C Play-offs season opener for these sides, whom are finally battling for points again. Will Gubbio or Lucchese get that important first victory?
It's no vacation for neither Gubbio nor Lucchese 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.
Gubbio form and stats
It's the first season at a new level for Gubbio as they were promoted from Serie C: Girone B last season. Happy days that were secured through 12 wins, 16 draws and 10 losses from 38 games. The team scored 34 goals at home last season and conceded 17. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Gubbio have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won five times, drawn eight and lost zero.
Lucchese form and stats
The last season was not a pleasant experience for Lucchese as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 12 victories from 38 games, relegation was a fact. Lucchese's manager Pagliuca are hoping to lead the team right back to Serie C: Girone B at the first attempt.
Lucchese are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, four draws and four defeats. From a total of nine matches.
Head 2 Head
It's not the first time these two teams face each other this campaign, as the history books show this recent match: Gubbio - Lucchese 1-0. Head to head totals (for the last five meetings): Gubbio won one game, three matches ended with a tie and Lucchese have one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / fourTop Goalscorers
