Rimini form and stats

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Rimini as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 11 victories from 38 games, relegation was a fact. Rimini's manager Gaburro are hoping to lead the team right back to Serie C: Girone B at the first attempt.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Rimini playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 4 Rimini wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
