Novara vs LivornoPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Round of 32 of the Coppa Italia Serie C at the Stadio Silvio Piola, where Novara host Livorno in a single-leg tie. There are two previous meetings, both some time ago: on 17 February 2021 the sides drew 1-1 at Novara, while on 21 October 2020 Livorno lost 3-2 at home to the same Novara. Novara come off a 2-2 home draw with Folgore Caratese, preceded by a 0-1 defeat at Juventus U23, a 1-0 win at Alcione, a 1-2 loss at Virtus Entella and a 2-1 win away to Sampdoria: two wins, one draw and two defeats in the last five. Livorno have been steadier: 0-0 at Pineto in their most recent outing, then 2-1 against Torres, 3-1 against Reggiana, 1-1 with Empoli and 2-1 against Cittadella Vis Modena, three wins and two draws with no defeat in five games. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
