Ascoli, Recent FormAscoli will not be too disheartened with their 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Venezia who sit so many places above them in the table. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Venezia's tally of 23 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Fabrizio Castori will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Spezia, Recent FormSpezia won't feel too deflated by the 1-0 home defeat to Parma, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 0 of which were on target. Parma had 13 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Luca D'Angelo where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 8 in the same period. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games away from home.
A win for Spezia is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
On an individual basis, Arkadiusz Reca will be looking to cause Ascoli some problems having scored 2 goals in Spezia's last 6 away games in the league.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Spezia running out winners in a match that ended 3-1.
Ascoli will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Aquilotti having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 7 meetings. In their last 3 away league games against I Bianconeri, Spezia have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
In the league, Ascoli has a good track record when they host Spezia, getting the better of them in their last 3 home games.
With no real injury worries, Ascoli manager Fabrizio Castori will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Spezia manager Luca D'Angelo ahead of this clash, with Laurens Serpe (COVID-19) missing out, which gives D'Angelo a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
