Before that match, a win away at Lavagnese.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Derthona matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and one defeat (from two games).

Sestri Levante form and stats

There's been little loot from Sestri Levante's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the Serie D: Girone A. Sestri Levante only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. It's a growing despair in Levante as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie D: Girone A home defeat versus RG Ticino with 3-5 on the scoreboard. A bizarre game with masses of goals last time out for Levante, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that entertaining match, will this match be as exciting?

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Ligorna.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Levante as they have only managed to score 4 times from 7 away games in the league. Levante have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Stats for the prior ten meetings featuring these two teams are: four wins for Derthona, one draw and five wins for Sestri Levante. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: eight games.
