Prediction: 2-1
Venezia
Spezia will be aiming to secure the Serie B survival when they face Venezia on the last day of the regulation season. The Bianconeri are one point clear of the relegation zone, meaning that a win over Venezia will see them avoid relegation to Serie C. Defender Dimitrios Nikolaou is banned for the match, while goalkeeper Gian Marco Crespi remains in the recovery room.
I Lagunari, on the other hand, are eager to secure automatic Serie A promotion, but seeing that second-place Como play host to Cosenza in the decider, their promotion chances are pretty slim. As a result, we are tempted to place our bets on the relegation-threatened hosts. Paolo Vanoli has a luxury to field the best possible side against Spezia. In the first half of the season Venezia defeated Spezia 1-0 at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
