On Sunday afternoon, Ternana host Como in a game that could have big implications at both ends of Serie B.
The home team is currently in the play-off spots in the Serie B table, six points adrift of the automatic promotion spots in the Italian second tier. Aurelio Andreazzoli’s team have hit a poor recent run of league form, which has hindered their chances of moving back into the top two.
In fact, Ternana has won just one of their last eight games in Serie B.
Despite their perceived poor run of form of late, Ternana has kept clean sheets in five of their last seven matches in the Italian second tier.
Ternana has an inconsistent recent home record in Serie B, winning two, drawing two and suffering one defeat in their last five league outings.
They have maintained an excellent defensive record on home soil in the league of late, though, keeping clean sheets in five of their last six home matches in Serie B.
The visitors have had a poor season and are currently in 19th place in the Serie B table. However, Moreno Longo’s team are just a point adrift of the teams in the relegation play-off spots.
The visitors have not won in their last five league matches. However, a 1-0 defeat against Reggina ended a five-game unbeaten run, as Como had drawn their four previous league game before the defeat last time out.
Como’s recent away record is a poor one, as the visitors have failed to win eight games on their travels in Serie B.
However, they have drawn their last three away games on their travels in Serie B.
Forebet predicts that this encounter will produce a low-scoring draw, which won’t help either team’s chances of achieving their objectives this season.
