Libertas vs SC Faetano Prediction: Both Teams Coming off a Defeat in the Previous Fixture

In the upcoming match up of Campionato Sammarinese di Calcio, Matchday 17, Libertas will be up against Faetano at the Campo Sportivo di Acquaviva. This will be an important fixture in context of the competition, as Libertas is knocking on the doors of top five standings, and Faetano is looking to get consistent. According to the points table standings as of now, Libertas stands 6th with 6 wins and 24 points from 15 games played so far in the Campionato season. On the other hand, Faetano stands 8th with just 5 wins and 16 points. The last time these two sides played was in September 2022, where Libertas won (1-3). 

In the last 4 matches played between the two, Libertas has shown absolute dominance, leading the charts (4-0). One of the most peculiar stats of the two has been the tally of total goals. In the last 4 matches between the two, the game total has been over 2.5 goals. Secondly, there has been no clean sheets, and both the teams have scored in the last 4 head-to-head contests. 

Liberta’s unbeaten run in the last five games of Campionato Sammarinese continues, however, the defeat against Tre Penne (2-0) in the Coppa Titano semi-final was quite drastic. Libertas registered its last win against Folgore, where Emiliano Olcese was quite terrific in the last 5 minutes of play, scoring a penalty and a goal. With an overall goal scoring average of 1.53 goals per game, Libertas can certainly dominate Faetano. Narrowing down to the home statistics, Libertas has a goal scoring average of 1.14 goals per game, whereas the conceding average is 1.00 goals per game. The home record for Libertas is quite phenomenal, as they have managed to stay unbeaten in the last 9 of the 10 home games.

SC Faetano has certainly lost its rhythm and consistency in the tournament. With four consecutive defeats, SC Faetano is struggling to even secure a draw. However, the upcoming fixture can be an opportunity for the struggling team to make a reasonable comeback. With a goal scoring average of 1.25 goals in away fixtures this season, Faetano can give Libertas a tough time. The away fixtures haven’t been quite acceptable to Faetano as it has a conceding rate of 2.38 goals per game. If Faetano minimizes its conceding rate, we have a terrific game to witness.

Going in the contest, Libertas will be the favorite to win, however, Faetano can always strike back with a goal or two. Considering their head-to-head stats and the past form of the two teams, I am backing both sides to score. The game total is expected to be over 2.5 goals.

• Total Over 2.5 for 1.58
• Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.88
• Total Goals (Exact) -3 for 3.95
