Ascoli, Recent FormThe Ascoli squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 away defeat against Sudtirol, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with 66% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Sudtirol managed 7 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
It seems pretty certain that William Viali will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Results have been poor for Ascoli recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Ascoli, Pedro Mendes will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Palermo, Recent FormIn their last match Palermo enforced their superiority over Feralpisalò with a 3-0 home win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Feralpisalò had 8 shots on goal with 0 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 11 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Francesco Di Mariano has given the travelling Palermo support something to shout about on the road.
It was one to forget for Ascoli last time they met Palermo in the league, falling to a 1-2 defeat.
The Ascoli defence has struggled against I Rosanero in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, Palermo have shown they know their way around the I Bianconeri defence having scored 13 times against them in those 5 matches.
When playing at home, Ascoli have lost the last 2 times they've faced Palermo in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters.
With no real injury worries, Ascoli manager William Viali will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Palermo manager Eugenio Corini has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
