Third-placed Ascoli look to close the gap at the top as they welcome undefeated league leaders Palermo to the Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca.
Ascoli sit third with 19 points after 10 games, putting them firmly in the early mix for the promotion play-offs with 28 matches still to play. They come into this fixture unbeaten in their last five outings (W2, D3), following up a 2-0 home victory over Sampdoria with a scoreless 0-0 draw away at Arezzo.
Palermo have made a flying start to sit top of the table on 26 points after 10 games, opening up an early seven-point cushion over their hosts. The leaders extended their unbeaten record to eight wins and two draws with a 3-1 home triumph over Vicenza Virtus, having previously shared the points in an entertaining 3-3 draw at Pisa.
