Ascoli U19 vs Salernitana U19 tips and predictions

Tight encounter expected in Primavera 2

With a handful of points between them, it's sixth placed Ascoli U19 hosting 14th placed Salernitana U19 in this Primavera 2 clash as the home team looks to pile on the pressure by adding to the 7 points that separate the sides.

Hmmm, what happens here is anyone's guess. The emphasise is on the home win but if they aren't in the right shape then who knows. They are still the pick to come through.

Ascoli U19 have shown what they can do leading up to this clash. The hosts have got 11 wins under their belt from their last 15 home games while the travelling side has flattered to deceive at times. They've lost 4 of their recent 5 matches on the road.

This home side is stringing together some excellent spells and they can be a problem. Ascoli U19 have scored three or more goals in 7 of their recent 14 matches.

Away from home Salernitana U19 have conceded an average of 2.4 goals in their last 11 matches. It's going to be fascinating to see how much of their improvements they leave on the training paddock.

Another reason to pick this home team is that they've won the last 4 matches between the two sides in this rivalry. Going back to their previous meetings the head-to-head stats point to another home win.

Don't be surprised to see these sides ending up in deadlock though. The sportsbooks are expecting goals at both ends of the park as they could be well matched. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks slightly more tempting on this occasion.
