The visiting Sorrento side should be favourites in this visit to Francavilla, as the away team holds a 21 point advantage from their 18 league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Francavilla form and stats
Francavilla's struggle is real here with only 7 points collected from 8 Serie D: Girone H games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-5. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Francavilla to get some points in this home game. With Francavilla having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager R. Lazic.
In their previous game, the manager R. Lazic led his Francavilla to a defeat in the Serie D: Girone H match away at US Bitonto. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Nardò.
The Francavilla fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
Sorrento form and stats
As the visiting team in Serie D: Girone H matches, Sorrento have produced an overall stat of 4-2-2 so far. Things are running smoothly for Sorrento who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 15 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Gravina.
The supporters enjoyed Sorrento's previous game versus Agropoli (placed 18th), a Serie D: Girone H 2-1 win played at home. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Gelbison.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sorrento as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. Sorrento are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 4 away goals have been conceded so far.
