Ascoli and Palermo meet at Cino e Lillo Del Duca, Ascoli Piceno on Friday, Nov 6 at 8:30 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Serie B. Just 3 points separate them in the standings.

Ascoli come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Palermo, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (4W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Ascoli face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Palermo have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Ascoli a slight edge, but Palermo are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
