Prediction: 1-1
Spezia
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Sudtirol and Brescia, Mantova will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Spezia in the Serie B round 33. Mantova have been showing signs of improvement of late and, as a result, they managed to escape the relegation zone. With no fresh injury worries to report, Davide Possanzini is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Brescia.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Sampdoria. Spezia are eyeing a top-three finish and they will surely go for a win in Sunday’s encounter. Luca D’Angelo’s men, though, have drawn each of their last three away games and given Mantova’s signs of improvement, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. In the first half of the season, the two sides played out a 1-1 draw and yet another close contest is on the horizon. Polish defender Przemyslaw Wisniewski is banned for the visiting team.
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.
