Ascoli form and stats

2-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Ascoli so far this season.

Ascoli are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Pisa. Midfield player Ciciretti got a match rating of 7.24 in that game, the max score being 10. Ciciretti hit one key pass.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 3-3 versus Como.

Ascoli are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Ascoli have conceded 12 from these games.

Genoa form and stats

5-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Genoa in their Serie B matches away. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Genoa are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Pușcaș and Aramu scored in Genoa's previous match, the home game against Südtirol that ended 2-0. That victory felt good as this team had gone five league games without victory. Midfield player Frendrup was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.44/10. Frendrup had 49 successful passes (of 54 total).

A 0-1 loss hosting Cittadella before that.

Low-scoring game? 9 of this team's last 12 league rounds have seen two or less goals.

Genoa have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Genoa as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Last two meetings with these teams: Ascoli won one, Genoa were winners in one and we saw zero draws. two games with over 2,5 goals, zero matches with two goals or less.
