Vicenza Virtus – Ascoli

Vicenza Virtus host Ascoli in what promises to be a testing encounter for the Serie C side languishing in 17th place with just five points from five games (one win, two draws and two defeats, 7‑10). The visitors sit comfortably in the top half, occupying fifth spot on 10 points after three victories, a draw and a single loss, boasting a solid 7‑4 goal difference. With Vicenza needing to tighten up defensively and Ascoli looking to extend their momentum, the clash could prove pivotal for both campaigns. The fixture also offers Ascoli a chance to widen the gap to the leaders, while Vicenza hopes to spark a revival and climb out of the relegation zone.
