Ascoli and Pisa have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie B.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ascoli and Pisa.
Ascoli form and stats
Ascoli are steadily winning Serie B games and points here at Cino e Lillo Del Duca. 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the summary from 8 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Ascoli after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The fans are hoping that Ascoli will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Serie B game against Pordenone (placed 2nd). Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Cittadella.
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 2 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Ascoli as they are travelling to their away game against Benevento in the Serie B. That match is three days after this one.
Ascoli have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Cino e Lillo Del Duca with 15 goals in 8 league matches. From these home matches, Ascoli have conceded only 7 goals.
Pisa form and stats
The visitors are W2-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie B home defeat versus Cosenza with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game was the away victory against Trapani with the score of 3-1.
We have checked recent matches where Pisa have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were W3-D2-L2.
After this away game Pisa return home for a Serie B game against Frosinone. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Pisa find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 9 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. 10 goals have been conceded by Pisa in these games.
