Ascoli Calcio 1898 FC - Palermo

Friday evening at the Cino e Lillo Del Duca, Ascoli Calcio 1898 FC welcome Palermo for a significant Serie B matchday 11 encounter. The home side enters the fixture in sturdy form, having recently dismantled Catanzaro 6-1 before securing a 2-0 victory over Sampdoria. With the expected XI led by Amine Chakir and Andrea Silipo, Ascoli will look to maintain their defensive resilience after holding Arezzo to a goalless draw in their most recent outing.

Palermo arrive with momentum, fresh from a 3-1 win against LR Vicenza. Despite the absence of the injured Gabriel Strefezza, the visitors boast an attacking threat that has seen them net multiple goals in several recent matches, including a 4-2 win over Empoli. With Joel Pohjanpalo expected to spearhead the attack, Palermo will aim to sustain their offensive rhythm against an Ascoli side that has proven difficult to break down throughout the campaign.
