Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Torino and Spezia go head to head at Stadio Olimpico di Torino on day 34 of the current Serie A campaign. Il Toro are undefeated in the previous three league fixtures, but they have little to play for in the season finale. Talented forward Pietro Pellegri is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Lazio, whilst all Belotti, Pobega, Warming, Zaza, Fares, and Praet are sidelined with injuries.
Both Djidji and Izzo are rated doubtful for the match. The Bianconeri, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Inter. Spezia are eleven points clear of bottom three, and, taking everything into account, we believe that both teams should be happy with one point from the match. Both Colley and Leo’ Sena should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Etrit Berisha):
Etrit Berisha is an Albanian goalkeeper born on 10 March 1989 in Prishtina, and he has become an important player for the Albania national team over the years. After starting his youth career in his native country, Berisha joined Swedish side as a youngster and he quickly managed to prove his worth on senior level, making 90 league appearances and even scoring 3 goals from the penalty spot.
The impressive displays in Swedish Allsvenskan earned him a lucrative move to Lazio in the summer of 2013, and he has since been vying with Federico Marchetti for a starting berth at Stadio Olimpico, making almost 40 league appearances during the first three years at the club. Berisha has also performed well for the Biancocelesti in Coppa Italia and Europa League, while helping Albania qualify for their first ever European Championship finals.
The talented goalkeeper spent every minute on the pitch during team’s successful qualifying campaign, making sure his name will be written in the Albania national team history books.
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.
