Struggling Francavilla will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Picerno in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • Francavilla have the fewest scored goals in the first half (3) in Serie D: Girone H
  • Picerno have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (5) in Serie D: Girone H

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Picerno have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 18-13-14 (win-draw-loss) from 45 matches.
