Spezia
All eyes will be on Stadio San Nicola when Bari and Spezia face each other in a highly-anticipated Serie B game. The Biancorossi are on a three-game losing run in the Italian second tier and they face yet another difficult task against Spezia. Forward Giacomo Manzari is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while defender Raffaele Pucino misses out through suspension. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, head into Sunday’s clash following a 1-1 draw with Mantova. As both Spezia and Bari are eager to record a win in the last game of the year, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. In their last encounter at Stadio San Nicola the two teams played out a 1-1 draw. Bulgaria defender Petko Hristov misses out through suspension 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.
