Ascoli vs Spezia Prediction & Betting Tips (9 December)

Ascoli have been cooking with gas on their own patch of late, winning eight and drawing one of their previous nine top-flight fixtures, not to mention outscoring their opponents by 13 goals to two along the way. Spezia, on the other hand, have found the going tough on the road of late, losing four of their last five trips, including one at this venue.

With 13 of the previous 20 Ascoli matches at the venue in the Serie B serving up no more than a couple of goals. This has also been the case in ten of the most recent 14 top-flight fixtures featuring Spezia, meaning that more of the same is expected when the two sides meet.

Both teams have found the net in just two of the most recent 12 top-flight fixtures involving Ascoli, so it is quite rare for this to happen when they take to the field. It has been a virtually identical story as far as Spezia are concerned, as 11 of their previous 13 matches at this level have seen at least one of the two keepers emerge with a clean sheet.
