Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-1
Spezia
After recording a come-from-behind win at Empoli, Lazio will be aiming to record their first home win of the season when they take on Spezia on Saturday evening. The Biancocelesti proved their worth in the season opener, and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to beat the Bianconeri. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who impressed in the triumph over Empoli, while both Danilo Cataldi and Bobby Adekanye remain in the recovery room.
Spezia, on the other hand, are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the capital club. In their last meeting in the “Eternal City” Lazio defeated Spezia 2-1, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. There should be no absentees in the away team.

Spezia is a professional Italian club based in Spezia, Liguria. The Bianconeri secured promotion to the Serie A in the 2019/20 season, with the team beating Frosinone in the Serie B playoffs final. Spezia are well known for their black and white home jerseys, and black is the dominant colour of their away kit.
The club’s home ground Stadio Alberto Picco has the capacity of 10,336 people. The venue was opened back in 1919, with architect Gregotti being in charge of the project. In 2002 the club chiefs decided to reach an agreement with Inter which saw Spezia become Inter’s feeder club.
As a result, the likes of Goran Pandev, Aco Stojkov, and Alex Cordaz joined the Bianconeri in the first season. Spezia then suffered a bankruptcy, but in 2008 they were re-founded. In the 2020/21 season the Bianconeri will compete in the Italian elite division for the first time ever.
