Availability isn’t a big problem, with just one fitness concern for the Ascoli gaffer Andrea Sottil to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy group of players. Lukas Spendlhofer (Unknown Injury) is out of contention.

In our view, Bianconeri could make use of the 4-3-1-2 system this time, handing starts to Nicola Leali, Federico Baschirotto, Eric Botteghin, Giuseppe Bellusci, Nicola Falasco, Michele Collocolo, Fabrizio Caligara, Dario Saric, Fabio Maistro, Frank Tsadjout and Federico Dionisi.
