The fresh new season is about to begin and the fans are tingling with enthusiasm. It’s wide open as Sorrento host Lumezzane for the opening game at Stadio Italia. Read on!
Lumezzane have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Both teams have had plenty of rest since their last competitive action. Let's aim for an in-your-face match!
Sorrento form and stats
Disaster struck Sorrento last season as they could not defend their status as a Serie D: Girone H team. With 14 defeats from 38 games, and only 14 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Sorrento are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W11 D5 L3.
This is expected to be a close game, with Sorrento perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sorrento as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Sorrento has won 8 of these, drawn 4 and lost 1.
Lumezzane form and stats
The last season was not a pleasant experience for Lumezzane as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 11 victories from 36 games, relegation was a fact. Lumezzane's manager Franzini are hoping to lead the team right back to Serie D: Girone B at the first attempt.
Head 2 Head
The previous head to head game ended Lumezzane - Sorrento 2-1, earlier this season. Sorrento-Lumezzane H2H statistics last three meetings regardless of arena: Sorrento one win, Lumezzane two wins, zero draws. two of these three matches had three or more goals (over 2,5). The games between these teams sometimes lean towards being aggressive, having seen 2 sending-offs from the last three duels.
