Perugia vs Cosenza Live Stats & Betting Odds
Perugia Prediction – Can Perugia win back-to-back at home?
6th placed Perugia head into this Monday night clash against Serie B strugglers, Cosenza, on the back of a convincing 3-1 home win against Pescara, and another three points in this upcoming clash would see the hosts draw level on points with 2nd placed Pordenone who occupy the second automatic promotion spot behind league leaders, Benevento.
Overall results in recent weeks have produced a mixed bag of returns for Perugia who have collected wins over 7th placed Crotone in a 3-2 win away from home as well as recording the aforementioned home win against Pescara.
However, recent back-to-back defeats to Cittadella and Pordenone should ensure a fully focused Perugia takes to the field at their Stadio Renato Curi as they seek to further improve an already reasonable looking home record of 4-2-1 10/6.
Perugia have lost just once at home this season and indeed, the bigger picture shows that the hosts have lost just 1 of their last 9 matches on home turf in Serie B, so they look in good shape to add to their points tally on Monday night.
Cosenza Prediction – Can Cosenza pull out of bottom three?
It’s been a tough campaign for Monday night’s visitors, Cosenza, as they make the trip to Perugia sitting in the bottom three of the Italian second tier on the back of securing just 1 win out of their last 6 matches overall in Serie B.
That rare success came in the shape of a 2-0 home win against fellow strugglers, Cremonese, but recent defeats away from home at Virtus Entella and Ascoli in 1-0 and 3-2 defeats respectively mean this could be another tricky away match for Cosenza.
In addition, Cosenza have managed to record just 1 away win all season in what has been a disappointing campaign for the visitors amidst an overall away record of 1-3-3 8/9 with their one success on their travels so far this season being a 3-1 win at Cittadella.
But with just 2 away wins out of their last 13 matches on the road in Serie B, this upcoming clash against a fairly solid looking Perugia outfit may be a bridge too far for the visitors to get anything out of.
Key-Facts – Perugia vs Cosenza
- Perugia have lost just 1 of their last 9 home matches in Serie B
- Cosenza have won just 2 of their last 13 away matches in Serie B
- Cosenza have kept just 2 clean sheets from these last 13 away matches
Betting Tips Verdict
Perugia look fairly well organised at home and they should take the spoils with a top three spot on offer for the hosts.
