Lavagnese's struggle is real here at Stadio Edoardo Riboli with only 7 points collected from 8 Serie D: Girone A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-5. When Lavagnese hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Fossano, Caronnese, Lavagnese, Saluzzo, Pro Imperia and RG Ticino), they have won 2 of 2 matches! The Lavagnese manager Dagnino might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Lavagnese shared the glory with Chieri in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1.

Preceding that match was the home game against Gozzano that was lost 0-2.
