Top-drawer Derthona arrive at Lavagnese after their 5-2-result against PDHAE. Check out our comprehensive preview!

Insights:
  • Lavagnese haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Derthona have won significantly less corners away then at home.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Coppa Italia Serie D. That game was also an away game, at PDHAE. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

This field has artifical turf, unlike Derthona's home arena. The last eight games by the visitors on artifical turf have produced 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses.

Derthona form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie D: Girone A travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Derthona seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Two travels in a row for Derthona, whose manager C. Guida could celebrate last time after the Coppa Italia Serie D win against PDHAE. As you can tell from the result, the match against PDHAE was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Ligorna.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Derthona playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one Derthona win, one draw and one defeat.

Derthona are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 6 games (in the league). It's not easy to score on Derthona as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the preceeding ten meetings involving these two teams are: four wins for Lavagnese, three draws and three wins for Derthona. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
