Audace Cerignola holds a decisive advantage in this matchup. The visitors demonstrate significantly superior away efficiency, boasting a 44% win rate and a -1 goal difference, whereas Picerno secures victory in just 11% of home fixtures with a disastrous -5 differential. The hosts have failed to record a single clean sheet on their own turf, conceding an average of 1.78 goals per match; combined with their poor form (56% home defeat rate), this renders them highly vulnerable.
