Fano vs Atletico Ascoli tips and predictions

Interesting Serie D fixture likely to be close

Any eventuality looks possible here. The draw looks sensible. With goals being hard to come by in the build up to this one, this could end up with clean-sheets at both ends and it's certainly not one to get carried away about. That said, the draw is the play from the match winner market.

The two sides have looked weak in attack. Fano have averaged 0.5 goals in their last 4 starts and they'd have wanted more from those matches. Meanwhile Atletico Ascoli have averaged 0.7 goals in their last 3 away campaigns.

The match could turn into a game of fine margins with the two sides ultimately proving fairly even. It's not standout value but the No BTTS bet is worth looking at.

Fano have drawn 8 of their last 19 matches, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with Campobasso at home last week. Atletico Ascoli have drawn 8 of their last 20 matches. They drew with Avezzano last Saturday and while the prediction is for any deadlock, a scoreline of 0-0 shouldn't be dismissed here. It's not very exciting and it feels like a match to be circumspect about but the draw warrants consideration. Stalemate is the pick after what will probably be a tightly contested match-up.
