Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Salernitana in 10th and Ascoli in 7th place.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Salernitana and Ascoli.
Salernitana form and stats
Salernitana have collected 9 points from their Serie B home games so far after 2-3-1. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Salernitana after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 186 minutes without scoring a league goal. L. Jallow was the last player to find the net.
Salernitana's last game was hosting Ascoli (placed 7th) and winning 1-0. Heartbreak before that as Salernitana lost 0-2 at Juve Stabia's place.
This is expected to be a close game, with Salernitana perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Salernitana as a small favourite), we find 19 games. Salernitana has won 10 of these, drawn 6 and lost 3.
Salernitana has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. Salernitana's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Ascoli form and stats
Ascoli have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 1-1-4 (6 played). Ascoli seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
It might be tough going out on the road again for Ascoli, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Salernitana (placed 10th). A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Cosenza.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ascoli playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were 1 Ascoli win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Ascoli find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 8 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. In the opposite end, Ascoli have conceded 10 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
