Ascoli journey to Stadio Alberto Picco on Monday for their Serie B clash with Spezia, so let’s look at the latest injury news and predicted line ups.
Spezia go into this game coming off the back of a 0-0 Serie B drawn result versus Reggiana. In all likelihood, Spezia should kick off with a 3-4-3 system this time and select Jeroen Zoet, Ales Matějů, Petko Hristov, Dimitrios Nikolaou, Salvatore Elia, Ádám Nagy, Salvatore Esposito, João Moutinho, Daniele Verde, Diego Falcinelli and Filip Jagiełło.
Arkadiusz Reca and Przemysław Wiśniewski will not be taking part for Spezia manager Luca D'Angelo. Francesco Cassata is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
How Spezia might line up versus Ascoli
Ascoli will come into the match following a 4-1 Serie B win versus Lecco in their last fixture. There’s a good chance that Bianconeri seem likely to utilise a 3-5-2 lineup, settling for Emiliano Viviano, Sauli Vaisanen, Giuseppe Bellusci, Valerio Mantovani, Brian Bayeye, Francesco Di Tacchio, Fabrizio Caligara, Patrizio Masini, Karim Zedadka, Pablo Rodríguez and Jeremiah Streng.
Ascoli manager Massimo Carrera has a number of players out of action. Luka Bogdan (Knee surgery), Patrizio Masini (Muscle injury), Riccardo Gagliolo (Calf problems), Erdis Kraja (Cruciate ligament tear) and Pedro Mendes (Hamstring injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet. Marcello Falzerano is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
