Match Analysis
Ascoli host Cremonese at Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca in Serie B, Regular Season - 31. Kick-off is scheduled for Saturday 20 March 2027 at 14:00 UTC.
Form Guide
Ascoli — All Games: 2W 1D 0L from 3 Serie B outings this season, averaging 2.33 points per game. Last five: W D W. They are averaging 1.33 goals per game and conceding 0.67 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 3 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 67% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. Ascoli have played only a handful of Serie B games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Across all Serie B games this season, Cremonese have recorded 3W 1D 6L from 10 outings — 1.00 PPG. Last five: W L L L W. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 1.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets. Cremonese have played only a handful of Serie B games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Cremonese away from home this season: 2W 0D 8L from 10 away games — 0.60 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.50 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.
Ascoli carry the stronger recent momentum — 1.33 PPG ahead of their opponents on 2.33 vs 1.00. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.
H2H Record
There is little to separate the sides historically. From 4 previous meetings, Ascoli have won 1, Cremonese 1, with 2 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.
The 4 previous meetings have averaged 2.5 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 16 Feb 2024, ended 0–0 with a draw.
The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.
In-Play Profile
Ascoli in-play tendencies (3 games): they score before half-time in 33% of fixtures; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 33% of games.
Cremonese in-play tendencies (3 games): they score before half-time in 100% of fixtures; BTTS occurs in 33% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games; they fail to score in 67% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Ascoli 67% versus Cremonese 33%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Ascoli 33% | Cremonese 67%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Ascoli 1.19 xG and Cremonese 0.82 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Ascoli attack 0.796 / defence 0.983 | Cremonese attack 0.723 / defence 1.074. League average goals — home 1.391 / away 1.158. Ascoli's attack strength of 0.796 is below the league average — the 1.19 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 3 Ascoli games / 3 Cremonese games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Ascoli 45% | Draw 30% | Cremonese 25%. Fair-value odds: Ascoli 2.22 | Draw 3.33 | Cremonese 4.00. Ascoli hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (30%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 33% | BTTS probability 39% | Total xG 2.01. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 67% probability — total xG of 2.01 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 39% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Ascoli as the most likely outcome at 45% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 30% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Ascoli offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
Poisson projects 2.01 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 33% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 2.2 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 39%. Form rates corroborate: Ascoli 67% | Cremonese 20% BTTS from recent games.

The model rates Ascoli's attack at 0.80x the league average against Cremonese's defence at 1.07x — combine the two and it projects 1.19 expected goals for the hosts. The same calculation in reverse, Cremonese's attack versus Ascoli's defence, projects 0.82 expected goals for the visitors.
