Ascoli form and stats

With 2 Serie B wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Ascoli are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Happy days for Ascoli in their previous game, a fixture away at Benevento (placed 7th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Leali, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.83 out of 10 in that game. Leali topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that, Ascoli drew at home versus Como.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ascoli have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost one.

There will be little rest for Ascoli after this match as they are travelling to Brescia for a Serie B game in only four days.

Ascoli have scored 9 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Ascoli's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
