Lamezia Terme look tough to oppose

On 17 Serie D points, 15th placed Rende host third placed Lamezia Terme. With 33 points the visitors are someway ahead of their rivals.

Lamezia Terme are heavily fancied to win. There are better bets around today than backing this short price though. The following preview pinpoints some key stats in order explain some of the reasons behind the away win prediction.

The hosts aren't looking like they have the tools required as they look ahead to this serious challenge. Rende have looked hesitant when clearing their lines. They have conceded at least once in all of their last 3 home matches and if they have any selection issues they could be vulnerable again here. Rende's performances over the their recent outings have not been vintage. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 7 games. Even if they face a depleted side those numbers won't get it done.

Lamezia Terme have, impressively, won 6 of their last 8 away matches. Many of these results have been made possible by their strength in the final third. They've scored two or more goals in 5 of their last 7 away fixtures and it looks like a matter of when, not if, they score in this one. They have been solid at the back when on the road. Conceding an average of 0.7 goals across their latest 9 trips has given them decent foundations to work with. The away team might be unstoppable on the day and that short price could end up looking like a gift.

If you disagree with any of this verdict, the BTTS Yes is the recommendation even though it comes with a low confidence rating.
