Picchio means woodpecker and is due to an ancient ritual migration. It was allegedly a woodpecker led the villagers. Accordingly, the logo also shows that animal. The most glorious time was Ascoli as Costantino Rozzi president – he was also the architect of the stadium. In his almost 30 years as president Ascoli Piceno played 15 seasons in Serie A. After his death, the team crashed into a low and even dropped off in the C series. Currently Ascoli denies the third consecutive season in Serie B.
Where was already given the risk of relegation last season. After 32 laps Ascoli is currently on the penultimate place. However, the gap to the saving 17th place is only five points. This shows how close the relegation battle is in the second highest league. With ten laps to go ten more teams can descend. Pescara has only seven points more than Ascoli. So it would be important for Ascoli to score three points in the home game against Bari. The main problem of the team from brands is the offensive. Only 30 goals cheered the fans in 32 games. This makes Ascoli the second worst offensive of all 22 teams. In addition, they collect almost two goals per game. The first leg against Bari confirmed this statistic. Ascoli conceded three goals and had no chance against the southern Italians. In the home game, this could be similar.
Bari:
Also the FC Bari 1908 has a similar glorious history. Like Ascoli, the southern Italians also had to file for bankruptcy in the recent past. After the economic problems, the former referee Gianluca Paparesta bought the club. The local completely restructured Bari. At present, the southern Italians are on course back in the top league. However, only the first two Serie B teams qualify directly for promotion. Where the second place could still be reached. Otherwise, Bari would have to play in the playoffs. In these, the teams are represented from third to eighth place, but only one promotion place is available. Bari has not lost the last seven games. Due to this positive trend, the southern Italians are still in the race for direct promotion places.
The last defeat cashed Bari in the local Stadio San Nicola against the leaders from Empoli. This match watched around 15,000 spectators live in the stadium. The home of Bari would have space for nearly 60,000 spectators. Since the stadium was built for the World Cup in 1990, it received this dimension. Currently, renovations amounting to 100 million euros are planned. Thus, the venue would be ready for Serie A. The Galletti – the nickname is derived from the club crest – have Cristian Galano one of the league’s top scorers in their ranks. Also in the first leg against Ascoli he scored a goal.
