The Ascoli players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Spezia recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat.  They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Spezia's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.  

It's fair to say that manager Massimo Carrera will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 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 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca.  

Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.

Failing to acquire any points in their 3-2 home defeat by Reggiana will have left the Venezia squad feeling a little deflated.  In that game they had 52% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Reggiana who had 16 attempts and 5 on target.  

With 13 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Paolo Vanoli will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 7 goals in the same period.  Their goal scoring streak now stands at 15 games in a row, and in this season's away games, they've recorded 6 clean sheets out of a possible 15.  

They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.  

With 7 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Joel Pohjanpalo has given the travelling Venezia support something to shout about on the road.
