The Serie B clash at Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca on Friday sees home team Ascoli ready themselves for the visit of opponents in Cremonese, and we have the latest injury news and predicted line ups to hand.
Ascoli will be looking for an improved result here after a 3-2 Serie B loss in their previous game against Catanzaro. We think that Bianconeri will probably use the 3-5-2 formation this time, handing starts to Emiliano Viviano, Valerio Mantovani, E. F. Botteghin, Giuseppe Bellusci, Marcello Falzerano, Samuel Giovane, Francesco Di Tacchio, Patrizio Masini, Raffaele Celia, Simone D'Uffizi and Jeremiah Streng.
Luka Bogdan, Pedro Mendes and Erdis Kraja will not be taking part for Ascoli manager Fabrizio Castori. Luca Valzania is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
How Ascoli might line up versus Cremonese
Previously, Cremonese drew 1-1 in the Serie B tie with Reggiana. We reckon that Grigiorossi will likely elect for a 3-5-1-1 lineup, starting the game with Gianluca Saro, Paolo Ghiglione, Matteo Bianchetti, Luka Lochoshvili, Leonardo Sernicola, Gonzalo Abrego, Michele Castagnetti, Luca Zanimacchia, Cesar Falletti, Franco Vazquez and Massimo Coda.
Cremonese boss Giovanni Stroppa has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Cristian Buonaiuto (surgery), Andreas Jungdal (muscular problems) and Mouhamadou Sarr (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out on this game. Ineligible players who cannot play in this game through suspension are Dennis Johnsen and Zan Majer.
