Command Analysis

Ascoli Calcio 1898 FC

Current form
Ascoli failed to retain their place in Serie B last season, finishing 18th in the standings.

In the first round, Ascoli failed to beat SPAL. Massimo Carrera's charges were leading 2:0, but still missed out on victory, conceding two goals in the middle of the second half.

Pianese

Current form
Pianese is a much more modest club in terms of status. Last season, the visitors played in Serie D, where they managed to take first place in Group E. Then the team made it to Serie C through the winners' stage, taking second place in their group. In the first round of the season, the team tied with the once formidable Perugia (3:3). Moreover, by the 18th minute, Pianese was leading with a score of 3:0, but eventually lost the advantage. In the eighth minute of stoppage time, the team still had a chance to snatch victory, but Sorrentino failed to convert a penalty.

1.72Tip and bets
The hosts do not intend to linger in Serie C, so they will try to lose points as little as possible in order to return directly to Serie B. In the first round, Ascoli failed to win, so it is extremely important to take three points in at least the second match. We believe that the team will be able to beat the team from Serie D on its home field.
Our betting tip is Ascoli victory in 1.60
Bet on the outcome
A draw in a face-to-face match will not offend either team. Given the teams' current form, we come to the conclusion that they will not reveal a winner, that is, the score will be equal after the final whistle.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.84
Bet on the first half
The hosts are very active in the first half and score most of their goals before the break. We think that now the team will rely on the starting pressure, earning an advantage in the score at the end of 45 minutes.
Our prediction is Ascoli's victory in the first half with odds of 2.13
