Our prediction for this Serie B match:
High-flying Spezia play host to Sudtirol at their Stadio Alberto Picco in the Serie B round 14. The Bianconeri defeated both Modena and Juve Stabia before the international break and their display in the triumph over Le Vespe must be fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Sunday’s encounter. As head coach Luca D’Angelo has a full squad to choose from, home win should definitely be considered.
The Biancorossi, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, losing to both Sassuolo and Cesena in the last two league matches and given their difficulties up front, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Bolzano empty-handed. Both Poluzzi and Tait are injured for the visiting side, while duo Cagnano – El Kaouakibi will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Last time out Spezia defeated Sudtirol 2-0 at “Alberto Picco”.
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.
