Our prediction for this match: Ascoli 2 - 0 Empoli
Ascoli vs Empoli Preview
Ascoli will be looking to make home advantage count when they take on Empoli at the Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca. Il Picchio were held to a goalless draw by Südtirol last time out, despite registering 16 attempts and generating 1.02 expected goals. With Manuel Alagna their only reported absentee, Francesco Tomei should have most of his squad available as Ascoli seek a stronger attacking display. Their home form offers encouragement, with the Bianconeri winning 60% of their home matches in the supplied statistics.
Empoli, meanwhile, travel to Ascoli under pressure after suffering three consecutive defeats, most recently losing 4-2 to Palermo. Matteo Andreoletti will hope that the promising performances of Zedadka and Shpendi earn them starting places and help revive the visitors' attack. However, Empoli have looked vulnerable defensively, conceding 1.40 goals per away game in the supplied statistics.
Both teams have reasons to push for a result, but given Ascoli's stronger home performances and Empoli's ongoing struggles, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 goals (57% H2H), and Ascoli or Draw.
This Serie B match will be played on Saturday, 17 October 2026 at 14:00.
