Struggling Ascoli will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Salernitana in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Salernitana 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.
