Ascoli form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ascoli so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-7 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Ascoli are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Ascoli play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Benevento (placed 1st). Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Pisa.

Ascoli lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
