Ascoli vs Brescia prediction 07.06.2026 | Serie C

After two years in the third tier, Ascoli have the opportunity to return to Serie B. They were even close to the direct promotion, but Francesco Tomei's team stayed three points behind Arezzo. In the promotion playoff, Ascoli had problems, but they still came only one step away from their goal. However, it is worth noting that Tomei's team won only twice in the previous six games and needs to find their best form to beat Brescia on Sunday.

Ascoli's head coach, Francesco Tomei, was very satisfied after a draw in Brescia. He said, "I'm very happy because I saw a team that was fully focused from the very beginning and that showed its identity against a strong opponent. We had a very good half-hour, and now we have to prepare for the final step. We'll see how it ends on Sunday."

Ascoli's biggest strength this season is their defense. They were the best in Group B, conceding only 23 goals in 36 matches. Also, Ascoli allowed three goals in five playoff games.

Only six years ago, Brescia were in Serie A, and now they are fighting to return to the second tier of domestic football. Brescia were never close to the direct promotion, but they did enough to secure a place in the promotion playoff. Brescia are excellent lately with seven games in a row without defeat. However, on the road, Eugenio Corini's team is significantly weaker, having won only two of their last nine matches.

Brescia failed to win at Stadio Marco Rigamonti in the first leg, but the head coach, Eugenio Corini, is still confident in progress. He said, "I'm very disappointed. Things haven't gone particularly well for us this year. But there's great team spirit here, a unity of purpose. This is our strength, and it will give us a great game on Sunday."

Brescia were the best defensive team in Group A with 24 allowed goals in 38 matches played. In the playoffs, they conceded two goals in five games.
