An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie B, with both Cosenza and Ascoli experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 18th place.
- Cosenza have the most matches under the total-line (23) in Serie B
- Ascoli have the fewest clean sheets (4) in Serie B
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Cosenza.
