Ascoli vs Perugia Betting Tips

The Serie B start for Ascoli provided an away draw to Brescia, which was actually a pretty good result. Avoiding a major loss of points is always a great beginning and that one point gained could do good later on. Their pre-season ended with a 4-1 win over Matelica Calcio who are in the lower leagues.

Their score lines reflect some attacking and some defensive play - not too much of each. They may be an unpredictable side with more than one style to play.

Perugia on the other hand has struggled big time. They’re in harsh times after being relegated from the Serie B prior to repeated losses, to the Serie C. Their first fixture in the third tier ended in a disappointing draw - you’d expect a relegated side to do much better.

It’s a hard season ahead of them, and they must toughen up and get their priorities in check or else they’ll keep going down.
