Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Cosenza will look to make a flying start to the season when they take on Ascoli on Saturday evening. The Rossoblu experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-2 Coppa Italia loss to Sassuolo, but, on the other hand, they looked sharp in front of goal at the weekend. Summer signings Manuel Marras, Giacomo Calo, and Tommaso D’Orazio are all pushing for a start, speaking of the home side.
William Viali’s troops, on the other hand, aim to recover from the Italian Cup defeat (1-3) to Verona. As the visitors will go for a win in the season opener as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. In their last encounter in the Italian second tier the two sides played out a 1-1 draw. It has to be noted that Ascoli key attacker from last season Diomande Gondo is no longer part of the team.
