Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Following back-to-back draws with Venezia (0-0) and Spezia (0-0), Brescia will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Serie B when they face Ascoli on Matchday 8. Le Rondinelle have been impressive at the back of late and we predict that they will rely on their rock-solid defence in Saturday’s encounter. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but midfielder Massimo Bertagnoli remains doubtful.
William Viali’s troops, on the other hand, managed to keep a clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Ternana at the weekend, meaning that a low-scoring affair is on the cards at Stadio Mario Rigamonti. You should bear in mind that the two sides played out a 1-1 draw in their last meeting at the venue. As for the away team, all Claud Adjapong, Luka Bogdan, and Aljaz Tavcar will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Team (Brescia):
Hosting their rivals at Stadio Mario Rigamonti, the stadium with the capacity of 16,743, Brescia are Italian team founded back in 1911 under the name of Brescia Football Club. Le Rondinelle are well known for their blue and white shirts, but white is dominant colour in their away kit.
Atalanta are considered one of the club’s fiercest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Derby of Lombardy. The Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit have rivalries with the likes of Inter, Hellas Verona and Cremonese as well. Roberto Baggio, who has 56 caps with the Italy national football team, is considered the most famous footballer who played for Brescia.
Robi scored 45 goals in 95 appearances in the Serie A for le Rondinelle. It has to be noted that the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Gheorge Hagi, Pep Guardiola, Luca Toni, Luigi Di Biagio and Dario Hubner were part of Brescia in the past as well. However, Mario Rigamonti is the club’s biggest legend as he died in the Superga air disaster back in 1949.
