Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Spal play host to Cosenza at their Stadio Paolo Mazza on day 10 of the new Serie B campaign. The Gli Spalini are on a four-game winless run, but they are surely capable of matching Cosenza, who suffered a dip in form. Defender Marco Varnier is sidelined with a strain injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Davide Dionigi’s troops, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a back-to-back losses to Reggina (0-3) and Genoa (1-2), and given their shaky defence, we do not believe that Spal will have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Pietro Martino is sidelined through suspension, while fellow midfielder Aldo Florenzi misses out with a knee injury. There are no other selection worries in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Alberto Pomini):
Alberto Pomini is a 185-cm-tall goalkeeper who played for Verona during his youth career. In 2001 he moved to San Marino and he made 17 league appearances for the club in the Serie C2. At the end of the season he signed a deal with Bellaria and after playing 20 games for the club, he moved to Sassuolo in 2004.
Pomini played for the Neroverdi in the Serie C2 back then, but the club have been making progress year by year. Sassuolo are currently playing in the Italian top flight, but it has to be noted that Pomini did not see any game action in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign. The Italian goalkeeper wore No. 17 on his shirt between 2008 and 2012, but following Davide Bassi’s departure he received number 1 shirt.
Alberto Pomini was born in Isola della Scala, Italy on 17 March, 1981. He has a contract with Sassuolo which expires at the end of the 2016/2017 Serie A campaign. His agent is Danilo Caravello.
