Parma set for crucial win at Ascoli
Parma have the chance to move into the automatic promotion spots in Serie B when they visit struggling Ascoli on Monday night.
Ascoli are currently 20th in the Italian second tier, occupying one of the three relegation spots. However, they are just a point away from the relegation play-off spots and three points from safety, so have plenty to play for in this clash.
The home sides form has actually been decent of late, as a 3-0 defeat against Foggia last time out ended a four-game unbeaten run in Serie B consisting of three wins and a draw.
Ascoli’s recent form on home soil in Serie B has been good, as the home side has recorded four wins from their last five home outings. Their last two home games have been low scoring, but five of their last seven games have produced over 2.5 goals.
Parma heads into this game on the back of a good run of form in the Italian second tier. A goalless draw against Cittadella last time out ended a four-game winning run in the league for the visitors.
The game also ended a prolific run of form in front of goal for the Roberto D’Aversa’s team, who had scored at least two goals in their last four outings in Serie B. Parma have also kept clean sheets in their last two league outings. With Ascoli in decent form, that record may face a test in this one.
Parma’s form on their travels has improved of late, as the visitors have won three of their last four outings on the road in Serie B, while four of their last six away games in the Italian second tier have produced over 2.5 goals.
Both teams head into this game in decent form. However, Forebet predicts that the visitors will just have enough quality to record a victory in a tight encounter.
