SPAL, Recent FormWith a 1-0 away win last time out against Reggina, SPAL will be looking forward to this one, and there will undoubtedly be a mood of confidence among their squad. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Reggina who had 25 attempts and 8 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Stadio Paolo Mazza, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. Daniele De Rossi will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home matches.
They've had a poor run of form at Stadio Paolo Mazza recently, losing 3 of their last 6 home games and managing only 1 win.
Ascoli, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Ternana will not have sat easily with the Ascoli squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 21 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Ternana had 12 shots on goal with 2 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Cristian Bucchi will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 4 of their last 6 outings away from home. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Federico Dionisi will be looking to cause SPAL some problems having scored 2 goals in Ascoli's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
I Bianconeri have let in at least one goal in each of their last 4 league matches at Stadio Paolo Mazza against SPAL.
