Prediction: 1-1
Bari
Spezia will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Ascoli when they take on Bari in the Serie B round 17. The Bianconeri are still sitting in the relegation zone, but a win over Bari could see them move away from the bottom three. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but Bulgaria international Petko Hristov could be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league match.
The Biancorossi, on the other hand, defeated Sudtirol in their last league match to put an end to their three-game winless run. Bari aim to move closer to the playoffs places, but beating Spezia at Stadio Alberto Picco is easier said than done. In their last meeting in the Italian second tier the two teams played out a 1-1 draw, which is yet another reason we are going to bet on draw.
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.
