Audace Cerignola vs Virtus Casarano: match statistics

155%(1.90)
X28%(3.25)
217%(3.60)

Audace Cerignola displays solid home form with a 46% clean sheet rate and a goal difference of 0 at their own stadium, indicating defensive stability. The hosts hold an advantage in expected goals (xG 1.61 vs 1.11), pointing to better quality of chances created. Virtus Casarano has serious issues in away matches – 62% losses, only 23% wins, and a catastrophic goal difference of -15. The visitors concede an average of 2.46 goals away with a mere 8% clean sheet rate, which is an alarming signal. Despite similar form in the last five matches (both teams averaging 1.6 points per game), the home advantage and Cerignola's significantly better defense point towards a home win. The xG Against statistics (1.18 vs 1.82) further confirm that Audace Cerignola is a tougher opponent to beat on their own turf.
