An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie B, with both Pisa and Ascoli experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 19th place.
- Pisa has the most conceded goals (24) in Serie B
- Ascoli has the fewest scored goals (5) in Serie B
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.
Pisa form and stats
Three Serie B home games done for Pisa, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches.
Pisa lost their last game at SPAL (placed 2nd) after a 0-4 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Pisa lost 1-4 at home to Cittadella.
As you see from the result above, Pisa suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Pisa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost zero.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Pisa, as the Serie B home game vs Pordenone is only four days away.
The Pisa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Pisa with 6 goals conceded in these matches.
Ascoli form and stats
0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Ascoli, who have the fewest scored goals (5) in Serie B, playing as the away team in the Serie B this season. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on V. Bertotto, the Ascoli manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie B home defeat versus Pescara with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Venezia's place.
It's a bit worrying for Ascoli that their goalkeeper Nicola Leali made seven saves in the Pescara game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
Ascoli are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, two draws and ten defeats. From a total of 16 matches.
Ascoli has another fixture away, a Serie B game, against Cremonese in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Ascoli are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. 5 goals have been conceded by Ascoli in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Pisa, two draws and four wins for Ascoli. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
