An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie B, with both Vicenza and Ascoli experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 19th place.
- Vicenza have not yet lost a game at home.
- Ascoli has the fewest clean sheets (0) in Serie B
It's no vacation for neither Vicenza nor Ascoli as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Vicenza form and stats
Vicenza have collected 4 points from their Serie B home games so far after 0-4-0. In general it's been a long time since Vicenza tasted defeat here at Stadio Romeo Menti, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league.
Vicenza travelled for their previous game, a trip to Cittadella that ended 0-0. A strong away win before that one, visiting Pescara and winning 3-2.
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 Vicenza have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won two times, drawn four and lost one.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Vicenza, as the Serie B home game vs Reggina is only three days away.
Vicenza have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadio Romeo Menti with 7 goals in 4 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.
Ascoli form and stats
There's been little loot from Ascoli's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 6 away games in the Serie B. Ascoli, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Serie B, only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.
Ascoli delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Cosenza (placed 16th) in their previous match; a Serie B game. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Cremonese that ended 3-3.
We have checked recent matches where Ascoli have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 17 games were four victories, two draws and eleven defeats.
