Ascoli have also picked up three wins in five, including a 3-1 home win over Avellino, but they've dropped points too, losing 1-0 away at Padova. It's a solid start for a side adjusting to life back in Serie B, though a touch less consistent than Sudtirol's.

Sudtirol's unbeaten start edges it, but neither side has hit a rough patch yet.

Comparative Team Statistics: Sudtirol vs Ascoli

Recent head-to-head meetings

The last four meetings between these two go back to 2022, with Sudtirol winning twice, Ascoli once and one draw. The most recent, in February 2024, finished 2-1 to Sudtirol.

That history is from previous seasons with different squads, including Ascoli's spell outside Serie B, so it's worth treating as background rather than a guide to current form.

Where they sit in the table

Sudtirol are second with 11 points from five games, having scored nine and conceded just three. Ascoli sit fifth on ten points, with seven scored and four against.

The gap is only one point, so this looks like two well-matched teams this early in the season rather than a clear form gap.

Players making the difference

Ascoli's A. Silipo has three goals in five appearances and looks like their main outlet up front. For Sudtirol, K. Mixtur has two in three, while Fabio Rispoli has been the chief creator with three assists, backed up by S. Molina and A. Vasic.

Sudtirol:

Best scorers:

K. Mixtur - 2

Penalty cards:

G. Stabile x 1 x 1

Ascoli:

Best scorers:

A. Silipo - 3

Penalty cards:

G. Corradini x 3

N. Rizzo x 3

S. D'Uffizi x 2

On discipline, Ascoli's G. Corradini and N. Rizzo have both picked up three yellow cards already, with S. D'Uffizi close behind on two, so suspensions could become a factor if that continues. Sudtirol's G. Stabile has already seen red this season.

How the game might unfold

Sudtirol have kept two clean sheets in their five league games and have conceded more than once only against Modena. Ascoli, by contrast, have shipped a goal in four of their five outings, even in games they've won.

That points to a game where Sudtirol's defensive discipline could be tested by an Ascoli side that tends to concede but also scores fairly freely at the other end.
