Reggiana will be wanting a better result here after a 1-0 Serie B loss in their previous game against Lecco.
In that game, Reggiana had 53% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 2 on target. For their opponents, Lecco got 6 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. Artur Ioniţă (60\') was the scorer for Lecco.
An interesting characteristic of more recent Reggiana games is the number of nil scores.
Taking their prior six clashes before this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on \"Both Teams to Score\" would\'ve been a losing one.
Leading up to this clash, Reggiana:
haven\'t won against Cosenza in their last 2 league games.
are without a win at home for the past 6 league games. Fans are getting restless.
In their last fixture, Cosenza drew 1-1 in the Serie B tie with Palermo.
In that game, Cosenza had 33% possession and 12 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. The only player to score for Cosenza was Gennaro Tutino (62\'). Palermo had 8 attempts on goal with 1 on target. Alessio Buttaro (44\') was the scorer for Palermo.
It has become apparent that Cosenza have been starved of goals over their previous six games, netting the disappointing return of only 4. In those matches, Bruzi have also seen the collective goal tally of opposing teams equal 8. We will see if that trend will end up being sustained in this game.
Going into this one, Cosenza have not won away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.

Team News: Reggiana
It’s our opinion that I Granata will possibly go for a 5-4-1 system in the match, beginning the first half with Giacomo Satalino, Riccardo Fiamozzi, Mario Sampirisi, Paolo Rozzio, Lorenzo Libutti, Edoardo Pieragnolo, Alessandro Bianco, Luca Cigarini, Manolo Portanova, Filippo Melegoni and Cedric Gondo.
Team News: Cosenza
In an otherwise full-strength group of players, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Cosenza gaffer William Viali to be concerned with. Pietro Martino (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be in action.
We’re of the thinking that Bruzi seem likely to utilise a 4-3-2-1 formation using Alessandro Micai, Michael Venturi, Michele Camporese, Andrea Meroni, Gianluca Frabotta, Federico Zuccon, Giacomo Calo, Mateusz Praszelik, Luigi Canotto, Mirko Antonucci and Gennaro Tutino.
Prediction
We’re thinking that Cosenza will likely create enough chances to find the back of the net against this Reggiana side, however it might not be as many as they will have scored against them. We can see both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for Reggiana by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
