Genoa vs Ascoli – Free Betting Tips, Odds & Predictions

These are our Genoa vs Ascoli predictions and tips:

Genoa to Lead at Half-time

To be fair, Ascoli have had a decent run of form lately; they have three wins in their last five matches, with a draw and a loss. However, Roberto Breda’s lads will go up against one of the best teams in the Serie B. It’s worth mentioning that Genoa are currently on a 12 match unbeaten run, and they’ve won six of their last eight matches. Alberto Gilardino’s men tend to strike first; they opened the scoring in seven of their last eight matches, and had the lead at the half-time break in six of those games. On that note, we expect Genoa to draw first blood, and lead at the midway point of this match.

Both Teams to Not Score

Our next Genoa vs Ascoli prediction is on the BTTS market. We’ve already established how dominant Genoa have been; it’s worth mentioning that a solid defense has been the cornerstone of their success. Alberto Gilardino’s men did not concede a single goal in their last three matches, they kept NINE clean sheets in their last 10 games. At least one team blanked in 12 of Genoa’s last 14 matches; and on that note, we shouldn’t expect goals at both ends.

Less Than 3 Goals

It’s important to note that no team has conceded fewer goals than Genoa in the Serie B this season; they conceded just 21 goals in 35 matches, same as league leaders Frosinone. Bearing in mind that the hosts did not concede in nine of their last 10 games, it’s no surprise that their games have mostly been on the low-scoring side. In fact, four of Genoa’s last five matches featured less than three goals, three of Ascoli’s last four games too. That said, we don’t think these teams will score up to three goals between them.

With just three games left to play, Genoa are second on the Serie B table, four points behind league leaders Frosinone. Interestingly, Alberto Gilardino’s men are currently six points ahead of third-placed Bari, and they could potentially secure automatic promotion with a win. It’ll be interesting to see how Genoa will match-up against this Ascoli side.

Ascoli

On the other hand, Ascoli are eighth on the table, occupying the lowest qualification playoff spot. With just three league matches remaining, they’ll need all the points they can get. As Ascoli take on Genoa, they’ll hope to get at least one point from this trip.
