Insights:
  • Ascoli have won significantly less corners at home than away.

Ascoli form and stats

5 victories, 5 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Ascoli have to build on here at Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca in the Serie B.

No payout for Ascoli in their previous match, an away game at Vicenza that ended in defeat 0-2. Bellusci, defender, was given a rating of 7.63/10 in that game, top of the team. Bellusci hit one key pass and won 8 of 13 duels.

Before that, Ascoli had a home game versus Pisa which ended with a victory 2-0.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Ascoli handle that role? We have found four games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are two wins, one draw and one defeat.

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

Ascoli are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 15 games. 17 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Pordenone form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Pordenone so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-12 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Pordenone, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Perugia game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

There were no winners in Pordenone's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Brescia (placed 5th). Midfield player Cambiaghi was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.12/10. Cambiaghi scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 6 times and had 20 successful passes (of 24 total).

A 1-2 defeat away at Cremonese before that.

We have checked recent matches where Pordenone have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 16 games were four victories, two draws and ten defeats.

A new game in only three days for Pordenone, the Serie B home match versus Frosinone. Busy days.

The attacking power of Pordenone when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 15 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

The former head to head meeting ended Pordenone - Ascoli 0-1, earlier this season. Head-to-head numbers (for the former five meetings): Ascoli won one game, two matches ended with a tie and Pordenone managed two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / three
