Ascoli Preview – Can Ascoli avoid third loss on trot?
Having been dealt back-to-back defeats away from home in the Italian second tier at Spezia and Pescara, Wednesday night’s hosts, Ascoli, will be relieved to be returning to the more familiar surroundings of their Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca as they prepare for the visit of 8th placed Chievo.
Ironically, Ascoli have managed to record just 1 win out of their last 7 matches though and that came in the shape of a 3-0 win on the road at Livorno, but 5 defeats during this 7-match sequence doesn’t bode well for the hosts here.
That said, despite sitting in a lowly 16th place on the Serie B ladder, Ascoli possess a decent looking home record that stands at 7-2-2 18/10, which includes just 1 defeat out of their last 7 matches on home turf, so they stand a chance of getting something from this encounter.
6 of Ascoli’s 11 home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Chievo Preview – Can Chievo bounce back on road?
As the headline suggests, Chievo were dealt a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home by Livorno on the weekend which has sen the visitors drop down to 8th place in the Italian second tier ahead of this important clash with Ascoli.
Following that defeat, Chievo now occupy the last play-off spot in the division and just 1 point separates them from 9th placed Empoli who are breathing down their necks for a place in the play-offs, so the visitors will be keen to bounce back with all three points here.
However, although Chievo bring a solid looking 5-match unbeaten run away from home into this clash, the draw has been prevalent throughout Chievo’s campaign, especially away from home where they’ve drawn 4 of their last 5 on their travels.
In addition, an away record of 3-7-3 13/13 hasn’t produced many goals either with 11 of Chievo’s 13 away matches also resulting in under 2.5 goals.
