Catania vs Ascoli Live Stream & Betting Tips – Draw is a Value Bet in Serie C Playoffs
Ascoli enters the second leg of the Serie C playoff semifinals with a commanding 4-0 advantage over Catania. Despite Catania's managerial change and late draws in the season, their form has not improved. Ascoli, in great shape with only one loss in 18 matches and dominant head-to-head history, need only avoid defeat to reach the finals. A draw would suffice for Ascoli, as they already hold the aggregate advantage.

Ascoli Dominate Head-to-Head
This is going to be the 28th time these two sides lock horns and Ascoli hold a 15-2 advantage in terms of victories.
Swapping Managers Didn't Change Anything for Catania
Series of poor results in April forced Catania to appoint Domenico Toscano as the new manager, but things haven’t improved much under his leadership as they lost the title race to Benevento in Serie C and finished 2nd.
Catania wrapped up the regular season with back to back draws against Potenza and Atalanta U23, both games ending 1-1, while both of their promotion playoffs against Lecco ended level (0-0 & 3-3) but they advanced due to better ranking rule.
The Elephants are unlikely to reach the Serie C promotion finals after suffering a heavy 4-0 loss to Ascoli last weekend, firing just one shot on target in this clash.
Ascoli Demonstrated Strength in First Tie
Ascoli were just three points short of earning direct promotion to Serie B, finishing the regular season as 2nd from Group B, just behind Arezzo (won 23 out of 36 matches).
Their playoff run started with a goalless draw against Potenza on the road, then they finished the job in front of the home crowd by winning 1-0, Amine Chakir scoring the only goal in the 81st minute.
In the first tie of the semifinals, The Woodpeckers crushed Catania 4-0 at home. They dominated possession 68% and had 11-6 shots (5-1 on target).

Verdict
Ascoli have lost just one of their last 18 matches and I don’t see them losing this second tie against struggling Catania. They have no reason to rush here after winning the first tie 4-0, so a draw looks like a reasonable bet.
