An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie D: Girone D, with both Mezzolara and Sasso Marconi Zola experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 17th place.

Sasso Marconi Zola form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sasso Marconi Zola so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-10 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Marconi have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Ghivizzano Borgo Mozzano game.

Marconi had fun at their own home (Stadio Pietro Zucchini) last time out, beating Pro Livorno 3-2. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Lentigione.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Sasso Marconi Zola when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning zero games.

A new game in only three days for Marconi, the Serie D: Girone D home match versus Bagnolese. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Marconi as they have only managed to score 8 times from 12 away games in the league. The Sasso Marconi Zola manager has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
