But in the case of a fourth draw in a row, extensions will be played and if there is still no winner known, then penalties will be scored. The players of Ascoli naturally want to avoid such a scenario, especially since they are playing at home now. Seven days ago in Entella, they also achieved the desired result, and not to concede a goal. But to get a win in today’s duel, coach Cosmi’s charges have to get a lot better in attack. In the first leg this part was pretty harmless.
For this reason, we expect Cosmi to set up three attacking players, and that should be the recovered Uruguayan Lores instead of the young Senegal midfielder Kanoute. The rest should remain unchanged, especially as missing midfielder Carpani and striker Favilli are still missing.
Expected lineup Ascoli: Agazzi – Padella, Gigliotti, Mengoni – Mogos, Bianchi, D ‘Urso, Pinto – Lores, Clemenza – Monachello
Entella is certainly less satisfied with the game in the first leg. He played at home 0-0, but also received no goal and that is only positive. In the second leg both teams start from zero. Ascoli will have the support of the audience this time, which could be crucial. Especially considering that Entella delivered very bad away games in the closing stages of the regular season part.
But the young coach Volpe will try to change that now. Therefore, he was also called in the closing stages, only two laps before the end of the regular part. But he faces a really difficult task, especially as he also has more problems with the squad than his colleague on the other side. Defenders Belli, midfielder Nizzetto and strikers Luppi and Diaw are injured.
Estimated lineup Entella: Paroni – De Santis, Ceccarelli, Pelizzer, Aliji – Crimi, Troiano, Eramo – Aramu, La Mantia, Gatto
Also, if the last three duels have ended without a winner, it looks like Ascoli would be playing better. Now he is still at home and that’s why we see him at an advantage.
