- Ascoli has the fewest clean sheets (0) in Serie B

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Ascoli form and stats
Overall Serie B stats at home this season for Ascoli, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Serie B, are 1-1-3 (wins-draw-losses).
An away draw last time out for Ascoli, facing Cremonese in a game that ended 3-3. Prior to that, an away loss at Pisa.
A goal frenzy last time out for Ascoli, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Cremonese. Fun stuff to watch! Riad Bajić could bring home the match ball after scoring three goals against Cremonese, but was annoyed the match ended without a win (3-3). A painful moment in the game against Cremonese was the missed penalty kick from Riad Bajić in the 39th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
This is expected to be a close game, with Ascoli perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ascoli as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Ascoli has won seven of these, drawn five and lost two.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Ascoli as they are travelling to their away game against Vicenza in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.
Ascoli aren't scoring a lot here at Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca in the league, with only 3 goals from 5 games. On the other hand, Ascoli have conceded 7 goals.
Cosenza form and stats
1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Cosenza, who have the fewest scored goals (7) in Serie B, playing as the away team in the Serie B this season.
Cosenza might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Reggiana proved too strong as Cosenza slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Vicenza.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cosenza playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were three Cosenza wins, four draws and four defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Cosenza manager R. Occhiuzzi as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Cremonese.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's not easy to score on Cosenza as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
