Ascoli are going through a rough patch. They haven't won any of their last five matches, with three losses and two draws, and they've struggled to score in most of those games. Palermo, on the other hand, are in much better shape, having won their last two matches and scoring freely in both. So the visitors clearly come into this one with more confidence.

There's no recent head-to-head history to look at, so we can't say whether these two teams usually produce lots of goals when they meet. Based on current form alone, Palermo look the stronger side and should be expected to win this match, though Ascoli's recent draws suggest they can make things difficult at home.
