Prediction: 1-0
Como
After sharing the spoils with the likes of Parma and Cittadella in the previous two league fixtures, Spal will look to escape the danger zone when they take on Como on Matchday 9. Spal missed a couple of good goal-scoring opportunities in the last league match, and, no doubt, they are capable of matching Como in front of home fans.
Since there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the Gli Spallini. Como, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Brescia and Alessandria in the previous two league fixtures. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Spal want this win more than Como. Massimilliano Gato is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
