Ascoli vs Lucchese tips and predictions

Not straightforward for Ascoli

There's not much between Ascoli and Lucchese in the Serie C. The hosts are in seventh place with 7 points, compared to their opponents who are in 12th place on 5 points.

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Ascoli has made them a no-bet. Lucchese don't look likely to get the win but they can ask some questions. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

These sides have impressed at the back. Looking solid at home Ascoli have conceded at an average of just 0.5 goals per game over their last 6 matches and Lucchese have been impressive defensively on the road. They've conceded an average of 0.5 goals per game over their last 4 matches away from home.

It's always possible that the game doesn't ignite due to the favouritism for Ascoli. In the Both Teams To Score market, the No option is recommended. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's Under 1.5 standing out in this one considering the price that's available there.

Ascoli have drawn 7 of their last 13 matches on their own soil coupled with the fact that Lucchese have drawn 11 of their last 20 away matches. They drew with Rimini last Monday. It isn't the most exciting thing you'll read today and it feels like a match to be wary of and so the draw warrants consideration. A deadlock is on the cards after what could be a low-scoring affair.
