The excitement continues in the Serie B, which has traditionally boasted of a lot more competition when compared to the top flight.

Frosinone will travel to Marche to play Ancona in a match that could see the visitors relinquish their leadership in the league. The home side have done well to recover from the losses against Padova and Galliopoli, and have registered with wins against Modena and Reggina. Meanwhile, the Canarini have continued their impressive run as they are lossless in their past five outings.

Empoli are far from the club that they once used to be, as an effort to promote to the Serie A turned out to be fruitless last season. The same trend appears to be shaping up for them this season, a mid table position is not doing any good to the hope of securing an entry into the big league. Only seven points may separate the Azzurri from the top, but their goal difference speaks otherwise. Twelve goals scored and conceded from nine games does not speak much about a side that is aspiring to get out of the second division. They will face an Ascoli side that has not registered a victory in their last five games, as their last three-point outing came against Brescia during mid-September.

Here are the fixtures:

Ancona – Frosinone
Brescia – Albinoleffe
Cesena – Grosseto
Empoli – Ascoli
Gallipoli – Lecce
Padova – Triestina
Piacenza – Modena
Salernitana – Crotone
Sassuolo – Cittadella
Torino – Reggina
Vicenza – Mantova
