This is particularly evident at home, where each of their last five matches has ended with no more than two goals scored.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Padova regularly play low-scoring home matches, and their last five games on home soil have all finished with no more than two goals. Ascoli have decent attacking potential, but away from home against a fairly cautious opponent they are unlikely to open up more than necessary. Padova will also look to stay solid and limit the number of dangerous chances at their end. Our pick is Total Goals - Under 2.5.
