Our prediction for this Serie B match:
All eyes will be on Stadio San Nicola when Bari and Spezia lock horns in an eagerly-awaited Serie B game on Sunday afternoon. The Biancorossi suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Sudtirol and Catanzaro on the road, but it is well known that they produce much better showings at home than on the travels. January signing George Puscas is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Francesco Vicari serves a one-game ban.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to FeralpiSalo and given their difficulties in front of goal, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team ahead of the trip to Bari, but Hungary midfielder will almost certainly return to the starting XI.
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.
