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). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on P. Zanetti, the Ascoli manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Two away games in a row for Ascoli, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Benevento in the Serie B. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus 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.

Ascoli have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 10 away games in the league. Ascoli have conceded 19 goals in these games.
