It's early days in the Serie B and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Spezia's home stadium. The visitors last 43 games on grass have ended in 7 wins, 11 draws and 25 losses.

Ascoli form and stats

As mentioned below, Ascoli are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Serie B games. Ascoli has recorded two wins in a row here at Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

A good away victory last time out for Ascoli, who won 5-1 against Juve Stabia (placed 19th). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Livorno in a game that was won 2-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Ascoli perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ascoli as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Ascoli has won 7 of these, drawn 6 and lost 2.

At Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca, Ascoli has the goal stats of 5-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Spezia form and stats

Spezia are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie B, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Spezia delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Perugia (placed 5th) in their previous match; a Serie B game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Pordenone wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Spezia playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 4 Spezia wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

It's early days yet, but Spezia has scored 3 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Ascoli won 4 games, 2 matches ended with a draw and Spezia has 4 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 6 / 4
