Ascoli Calcio 1898 FC - Carrarese

Amine Chakir arrives at the Cino e Lillo Del Duca with momentum after his crucial contribution helped secure a 2-1 victory over Hellas Verona on 23 August 2026. The forward is expected to lead the line for Ascoli Calcio 1898 FC as they look to build on that result in this matchday 2 fixture. With Samuele Damiani and Sergiu Perciun anchoring the midfield, the home side will aim to maintain the attacking rhythm they displayed during their recent cup campaign, where they overcame Potenza 3-1 before a difficult outing against Genoa.

Carrarese travel to face their opponents following a frustrating 1-2 loss to Mantova on 22 August 2026. The visitors are searching for their first points of the campaign, relying on the defensive stability of Filippo Oliana and Fabio Ruggeri to contain the Ascoli threat. Having last met in the Lega Pro group stage on 19 April 2015, this encounter marks a significant step up in competition for both sides. Carrarese will look to Moustapha Cisse to provide the clinical edge needed to turn their fortunes around in this challenging away test.
