Football : Serie B

Tuesday 22nd February 2022, 1730hrs
Alessandria will be keen to end their current five-match winless run in the Italian second tier on Tuesday night when they play host to Perugia at the Stadio Giuseppe Moccagatta following two defeats and three draws.
Defeats to Vicenza and Ascoli along with stalemates against Pisa, Brescia and Lecce have resulted with the hosts dropping down to 17th place and one of the relegation play-off spots and having registered just one win from their last five games on home soil, Alessandria look to have their work cut out here.
Alessandria have also suffered five defeats out of their 12 home games to date in this their first ever season in Serie B so the hosts will do well to get a result on Tuesday night.
By contrast, Perugia bring an impressive and solid run of results in Serie B into Tuesday night’s clash away at Alessandria having suffered just the one defeat out of their last 12 matches overall in the Italian second tier.
That loss came in the shape of a 1-0 loss at home to Pordenone but five wins and six draws within this sequence suggests that the visitors are more likely to find a way to grab the three points at the Stadio Giuseppe Moccagatta.
In addition, Perugia have won three of their last four matches overall which includes victories over Ascoli, Frosinone and Cosenza, while on the road, Perugia have lost just once in their last 12 matches on their travels.
Perugia therefore look a decent prospect for this Tuesday night’s encounter as the visitors look to break back into the top eight of the division.
The Betting Verdict
Perugia have lost just one of the last four meetings against Alessandria and the visitors look well placed for a result on Tuesday night.
