Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Bologna play host to Spezia at their Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in the closing match of the Serie A round 26. The Rossoblu suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Lazio at the weekend, and, no doubt, they are desperate to put an end to their five-game winless run. Bologna are eyeing their sixth home win of the process, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Spezia. Both Medel and Svanberg are banned for the match, while Dominguez, Santander, and Kingsley should miss out with injuries.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, are only two points behind Bologna in the Serie A standings, but given their anything but good display in a 2-1 loss to Vlahovic-less Fiorentina, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Sinisa Mihajlovic’s troops. Amian is banned for the visitors, while both Bastoni and Leo’ Sena remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Diego Falcinelli):
Diego Falcinelli is an Italian footballer who plays for Sassuolo as a striker. He joined the Neroverdi in 2009, but spent several seasons on loan at Foligno, Juve Stabia, Lanciano and Perugia. Falcinelli score 14 goals in 38 league appearances for Perugia and, as a result, Sasuolo chiefs wanted his back.
The 186-cm-tall attacker returned to the club in 2015 and he scored two goals in 26 appearances for the Neroverdi in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign. Falcinelli was born in Marsciano, Italy on 26 June, 1991 and he has yet to make his debut for the Italy national team. However, it has to be noted that he received a call-up to Italy U19 team.
The left-footed striker, who is capable of playing as a winger as well, has a contract with Sassuolo which expires on 30 June, 2020. Falcinelli wears number nine on his shirt and he is represented by PB sports management.
Highlighted Team (Spezia):
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.
