Ascoli Picchio - Palermo ai prediction 06.11.2026 Serie B

Preview for match Ascoli vs Palermo

Ascoli and Palermo meet at the Cino e Lillo Del Duca on Friday, 6 November 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 20:30 in the 11th round of Serie B. The fixture brings together two of the division’s strongest sides so far: Palermo lead the table with 26 points, while Ascoli are third on 19. Both teams remain unbeaten at home and away respectively, making this a notable test of their consistency as well as their ambitions near the top of the standings.

Palermo arrive with the superior overall record. Filippo Inzaghi’s side have won eight of their ten league matches, drawn twice and suffered no defeats. Their 24 goals scored underline their attacking threat, although 12 conceded suggest that opponents can still find opportunities against them. Ascoli, coached by Francesco Tomei, have also made an impressive start, collecting five wins and four draws from ten matches. Their defensive record is particularly strong: only six goals conceded, the best figure of the two teams.

The venue may help Ascoli. They have taken three wins and two draws from five home matches, while Palermo’s away record is also unbeaten, with three victories and two draws. Neither side has yet shown a clear weakness in the relevant home or away setting. Recent form gives Palermo a slight edge, with four wins and one draw in their last five matches, compared with two wins and three draws for Ascoli. The previous direct meeting ended 2-2, a reminder that this contest can produce a close and entertaining game. Palermo’s table position and recent results make them favourites, but Ascoli’s home resilience and defensive discipline should not be underestimated.

Our betting tip for Ascoli vs Palermo

Our betting prediction is a Palermo win, or Tip 2 in the 1X2 market. The visitors have been the more productive side across the season, with eight victories and 24 goals scored, and their recent sequence of four wins in five matches reinforces the case for backing them. Ascoli are difficult to beat, particularly at home, so this is not a risk-free selection. However, Palermo’s unbeaten record and greater attacking output give them the stronger overall profile.

Our second tip is Both teams to score: Yes. Ascoli have scored consistently enough to make a home goal plausible, while Palermo’s 12 goals conceded indicate that they are not entirely secure at the back. The previous 2-2 meeting also supports the possibility of goals at both ends, though it should be treated as context rather than a guarantee. The listed price for “Yes” is 1.53 at Gbets.

AI prediction for Ascoli vs Palermo

The AI prediction leans towards an away victory, with a 1-2 correct-score tip. Palermo’s league-leading position, unbeaten record and stronger recent form point to a narrow advantage. Ascoli’s defensive numbers and unbeaten home record make a comfortable Palermo win less likely, but they also suggest that the hosts can remain competitive throughout. The AI forecast therefore favours Palermo to take all three points while conceding once. This is a statistical estimate, not a certainty; match outcomes can differ from any model-based assessment.

Ascoli performance check

Ascoli are third with 19 points after ten matches, having recorded five wins, four draws and one defeat. Their goal difference of 16:6 reflects a side that has combined useful attacking output with a particularly reliable defence. At the Cino e Lillo Del Duca, they have won three and drawn two of their five fixtures, without losing. That home record gives Francesco Tomei’s team a sound platform for this meeting, even against the league leaders.

Their last five matches have brought two wins and three draws, with no defeats. This sequence points to a team that is hard to overcome, although the number of draws suggests that converting competitive performances into victories may be an area to improve. Ascoli will likely need to stay compact and make the most of their chances if they are to disrupt Palermo’s rhythm.

How is the current performance of Palermo?

Palermo sit first in the table on 26 points and remain unbeaten after ten rounds. Filippo Inzaghi’s team have won eight times and drawn twice, scoring 24 goals and conceding 12. Their attacking record is one of the strongest in the competition, and their five-match form is excellent: four wins and one draw, with no defeats.

The away figures are equally encouraging. Palermo have secured three wins and two draws from five road matches, so the challenge of playing at Ascoli should not in itself be a major concern. Their defensive record is less impressive than Ascoli’s, however, and the visitors may need to balance their forward intent with care in possession. If they can maintain their usual attacking threat without leaving too much space behind, their form makes them a serious contender for another win.

Last direct match

The last meeting between Ascoli and Palermo finished in a 2-2 draw. That result illustrates how closely matched the sides can be when they face one another, despite Palermo’s stronger current standing. It also provides a reason to consider a goal from each team, although the circumstances of the upcoming match will be different.

Head-to-head last direct meetings

Across the last five meetings in all competitions, Palermo have recorded three wins, Ascoli have won once and one match has ended in a draw. The overall head-to-head balance therefore favours the visitors. Ascoli will nevertheless take confidence from having beaten Palermo during this period, while the most recent draw shows that the gap between the clubs is not necessarily decisive on the pitch.

Performance in the last five matches

Ascoli have taken two wins and three draws from their last five matches, remaining unbeaten but drawing more often than Palermo. Their recent run reflects resilience and a strong capacity to avoid defeat. Palermo, meanwhile, have won four and drawn one of their last five, also without a loss. The visitors’ greater number of victories gives them the stronger momentum heading into this fixture.

Conclusion and match prediction

This match should be competitive because both teams are unbeaten in their respective home and away records. Ascoli have the stronger defensive figures and will have the support of their home crowd, but Palermo’s position at the top of the table, higher goal tally and more convincing recent run make them the marginal favourites. The visitors have shown greater consistency in turning matches into wins, which is the key reason for selecting an away victory.

The recommended main selection is Palermo to win (Tip 2), with Both teams to score: Yes as the secondary tip. A narrow 1-2 outcome is a reasonable forecast, though Ascoli’s defensive organisation means that a close contest is more likely than a one-sided result.
