Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Genoa will be looking to cement their spot in top two when they take on Ascoli in the Serie B round 36. The Rossoblu are eyeing their seventh consecutive league win and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. Marko Pajac has yet to recover from an ACL problem, while both Manolo Portanova and Brayan Boci are major doubts.
I Picchi, on the other hand, did well to beat Pisa 2-1 in their last league match, with the team regaining their spot in top eight, but they need to keep on impressing in the season finale if they are to make it to the playoffs. Anyhow, home win should be considered this time out as Genoa have turned their Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris into a real fortress. As for the away side, defender Eric Botteghin serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
