Cosenza

WLDLDL

Cosenza will be wanting a better result here following a 1-0 Serie B losing effort in their last game against Ternana.

In that game, Cosenza managed 54% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. On the other side, Ternana got 17 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Gastón Pereiro (69') was the scorer for Ternana.

It’s not been often in recent times that Cosenza have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Cosenza have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 7 goals along the way.

Coming into this fixture, Cosenza are without a win at home for the past 4 matches in the league. That's never good.

Brescia

In their previous fixture, Brescia drew 1-1 in the Serie B match with Catanzaro.

In that game, Brescia had 50% possession and 20 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Brescia was Gennaro Borrelli (52'). At the other end, Catanzaro had 13 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Tommaso Biasci (45') scored for Catanzaro.

The stats don’t lie, and Brescia have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 7 goals in total. In defence, Brescia have seen their frailties exposed. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward here, though.

A look at their previous results shows us that Brescia:

• are winless against Cosenza in away games against them for the last 2 league games.
• are without an away win for the past 5 league games.
