Verona kickstart the new Serie B campaign as they take on Ascoli to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Sunday. The Mastini are determined to make a quick return to Serie A and will be buoyed by their Coppa Italia victory over Entella. Verona have been reasonably solid on home soil recently, winning 38% of their last eight home matches while conceding just 0.88 goals per game. However, Mosquera, Serdar and Peci are all sidelined through injury.
Ascoli, meanwhile, enter the new campaign looking to put a disappointing cup outing behind them after suffering a heavy 4-1 defeat to Genoa. They can at least count on a fully fit squad, with summer arrival Matteo Ricci expected to make his debut. Their away record is a major concern, though, as Ascoli have failed to win any of their last five away matches, collecting just 0.40 points per game during that spell.
As Verona have the stronger squad, home advantage and a dominant H2H record, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Verona to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals (Verona's last 10 matches average only 1.90 goals, while they concede just 0.88 per home game).
This Serie B match will be played on Sunday 23 August 2026 at 18:00.
