Ascoli, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 4-1 away defeat by Cagliari, Ascoli manager Roberto Breda will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Cagliari's tally of 19 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Breda will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have been misfiring up front at home recently, having been unable to produce a goal in 4 of their last 6 matches. Having shipped goals in 10 out of their 14 matches this season, Breda will not be pleased with his team's struggles to keep a clean sheet at home.
With 3 defeats and just 1 win from their last 6 home league games at Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca, it's clear they are not having a good run of home form at the moment.
Venezia, Recent FormVenezia had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 1-1 draw against Brescia. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Brescia had 19 shots on goal with 5 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Paolo Vanoli will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 4 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Having conceded at least 1 goal in 13 out of 14 away games this season, they are not making it easy for themselves to pick up valuable points on their travels.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Joel Pohjanpalo has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Ascoli.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Ascoli that came out on top with a 0-2 win.
The Arancioneroverdi defence has struggled at Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 visits.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca in the league, but Ascoli will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings there.
With no real injury worries, Ascoli manager Roberto Breda will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Venezia manager Paolo Vanoli has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
