Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Brescia play host to Spezia, hoping to bounce back from consecutive losses to Sassuolo and Cesena. However, with a defence that has struggled to hold firm, a home victory might be too optimistic for the hosts. Brescia’s recent form highlights their need for improvement at the back, but they head into the game without new injury concerns, giving coach Gastaldello a full squad to choose from.
Spezia, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence, having displayed impressive defensive resilience of late. The Bianconeri have kept clean sheets in each of their last four league matches, a testament to their improved organization and discipline at the back. However, midfielder Filippo Bandinelli remains a major doubt after picking up an injury in a goalless draw against Bari, which could affect Spezia’s midfield depth. Anyhow, we predict that Spezia forwards are capable of breaking Brescia's vulnerable defence.
Highlighted Team (Brescia):
Hosting their rivals at Stadio Mario Rigamonti, the stadium with the capacity of 16,743, Brescia are Italian team founded back in 1911 under the name of Brescia Football Club. Le Rondinelle are well known for their blue and white shirts, but white is dominant colour in their away kit.
Atalanta are considered one of the club’s fiercest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Derby of Lombardy. The Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit have rivalries with the likes of Inter, Hellas Verona and Cremonese as well. Roberto Baggio, who has 56 caps with the Italy national football team, is considered the most famous footballer who played for Brescia.
Robi scored 45 goals in 95 appearances in the Serie A for le Rondinelle. It has to be noted that the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Gheorge Hagi, Pep Guardiola, Luca Toni, Luigi Di Biagio and Dario Hubner were part of Brescia in the past as well. However, Mario Rigamonti is the club’s biggest legend as he died in the Superga air disaster back in 1949.
