Prediction: 2-2
Brescia
Spal and Brescia take on each other in a highly-anticipated Serie B game at Stadio Paolo Mazza. Spal have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating both Cosenza and Crotone, while losing to Lecce. The Gli Spallini are eager to escape the danger zone, but they face an uphill task in Saturday’s football game. Francesco Vicari continue to miss out through suspension, while Emmanuel Latte Lath faces race against clock to be fit for the match.
Brescia, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Monza, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Spal. Since Filippo Inzaghi should have a full squad to choose from, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up one point from the match. You should bear in mind that over 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last three encounters in all competitions.

Highlighted Team (Brescia):
Hosting their rivals at Stadio Mario Rigamonti, the stadium with the capacity of 16,743, Brescia are Italian team founded back in 1911 under the name of Brescia Football Club. Le Rondinelle are well known for their blue and white shirts, but white is dominant colour in their away kit.
Atalanta are considered one of the club’s fiercest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Derby of Lombardy. The Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit have rivalries with the likes of Inter, Hellas Verona and Cremonese as well. Roberto Baggio, who has 56 caps with the Italy national football team, is considered the most famous footballer who played for Brescia.

However, Mario Rigamonti is the club’s biggest legend as he died in the Superga air disaster back in 1949.
