Ascoli will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 10 points behind Pordenone.

Pordenone are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Ascoli form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, Ascoli have managed 9 wins, 4 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 17 games. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Ascoli after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Ascoli are returning here after visiting Cittadella in a Serie B game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Diogo Pinto scored the goal(s). Ahead of that match, Ascoli won a home game hosting Empoli (1-0).

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of D. Dionigi when Diogo Pinto scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 54th minute.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ascoli have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 17 matches with the results: Won ten, drawn four and lost three.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Ascoli as they are travelling to their away game against Pisa in the Serie B. That match is two days after this one.

Ascoli are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 25 goals in 17 games. On the other hand, Ascoli have conceded 18 goals.

Pordenone form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 5 wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats.

The manager A. Tesser was unhappy after their last game, a Serie B match played at their home ground Stadio Ottavio Bottecchia. Pordenone suffered a 1-2 loss to Cosenza (placed 18th). A 0-1 defeat away at Crotone before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Pordenone playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were four Pordenone wins, four draws and six defeats.

A new game in only two days for Pordenone, the Serie B home match versus Salernitana. Busy days.

The visiting Pordenone have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 19 goals from 17 games. Pordenone struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 30 goals conceded from these games.
