Ascoli vs Juve Stabia Prediction

Ascoli brought their three-match losing streak to a halt in fine fashion last week by taking down Livorno on the road with a 3-0 scorecard. The hosts recorded a total of eighteen shots at goal in that latter matchup, half of which made the opposing goalkeeper work.

However, the home team have just three wins to boast of from their previous nine games in the second division. As a result, they are now sitting twelfth in a cluster of twenty.

On the other hand, Juve Stabia were at the losing end of a 2-1 scoreline their most recent matchup with Perugia. Despite leveling the scores before the break, in that latter matchup, the guests conceded a penalty post the restart, which Pietro Iemmello made no mistake in converting.

At the moment, the visitors are two-points adrift of Ascoli on the ladder and are just a point away from falling into the relegation zone. To make matters worse, Juve Stabia have dropped points in eight of their past ten outings in the Serie B this season.

In sharp contrast, Ascoli have been resilient in front of the home crowd and are at present sporting the fourth-best home statistics on the table too. Taking into account that the hosts absolutely breezed past this opponent in the reverse fixture, the win is more than likely to swing in favor of Ascoli in this one.

Furthermore, the visitors have been found napping at the back far too many times on the road. Miserably, they have conceded no less than two goals in four of their previous six outings.

To top it off, each of their past two h2h meetings here have featured more than 2.5 goals on the final scorecards. Hence, expect goals to be in abundance come Friday too.
