STATISTICS
– Ascoli remained unbeaten in 16 of the 21 matches played in Serie B against Cosenza (8W, 8D), however the Imcalabresi won the most recent match played in the first leg (3-0) and could collect two successes in a row against the Marche for the second time in the competition, the previous one between December 2020 and April 2021 (3-0 and 2-1 in that case).
– Ascoli have won four of the 10 home games played against Cosenza in Serie B (5N, 1L), keeping a clean sheet in four of these matches; however, the Bianconeri have scored only two goals in the last three matches against the second-placed Wolves – after having scored seven in the previous three.
– Ascoli won the most recent match against Ternana without conceding a goal (1-0) and could achieve two successes in a row in Serie B for the first time since February 2023 (double 1-0 against Perugia and Parma with Roberto Breda on the bench); furthermore, the Marche team could keep a clean sheet for five matches in a row in the competition for the second time in the division – after the five recorded between September and October 1977.
– Cosenza, fresh from two victories in the championship against Reggiana and Bari, could achieve three successes in a row in Serie B for the first time since March-April 2023 (three with William Viali on the bench); furthermore, after the 4-0 win at Reggiana, the Calabrians could celebrate a double away success without conceding a goal for the first time since April 2001 (double 1-0 against Cittadella and Salernitana).
– Two of the five teams who have conceded the fewest headed goals in this Serie B will face each other: Cosenza are the record holders together with Cremonese with four; while Ascoli are immediately behind with five in the company of Como and Parma.
Eric Botteghin has scored three goals in this championship and in no Serie B season has he been on target more times (three also in 2022/23 again with Ascoli); the defender scored all three goals away from home and among the equal players in the tournament no one has more goals away from home (three also for Federico Barba).
– Gennaro Tutino scored four goals against Ascoli in Serie B and in the tournament only against Pisa and Venice was he on target more times (five vs both); the attacker, with 16 goals in this championship (already a record in a single season of the competition), could also find the net for five games in a row to
the first time in his career in the cadets.
