AI-assisted match preview written from official match data.
The hosts arrive on the back of a mixed run, having lost to Lazio and Frosinone before beating Arezzo, then losing to the same opponents and closing with a win over Pisa, a stretch that reads LLWLW. Potenza, meanwhile, have shown their own inconsistency, losing to Triestina and Pisa before defeating Lanusei, leaving them with a recent record of LLW.
Both teams head into the tie having won their most recent outing, Ascoli edging past Pisa 2-1 and Potenza seeing off Lanusei 2-0, results that offer a measure of encouragement heading into the cup fixture.
Ascoli's five-match sequence of LLWLW shows more churn than Potenza's shorter LLW run, though both sides ended their last outing with a win.
Ascoli meet Potenza in the Coppa Italia (Round of 128). Kick-off is Saturday, 8 August 2026, 18:30 UTC at Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca.
