The Ascoli & Lecce head coaches A. Sottil and M. Baroni are both fearful of and looking forward to this highly important game in the upper regions of the Serie B standings.
- Ascoli have won significantly less corners at home than away.
- Lecce have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Ascoli form and stats
Ascoli have played three Serie B home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Ascoli are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca, having lost their two previous games here.
Ascoli drew their last game, 2-2 away at Crotone (placed 17th). There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Crotone as Soufiane Bidaoui's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. The gifted forward Soufiane Bidaoui bettered all the other players in that match and got a match rating of 7.82 out of 10. Bidaoui scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 18 successful passes (of 21 total).
Preceding that match was the home game against Brescia that was lost 2-3.Ascoli are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Ascoli defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
