SPAL
After holding Pisa to a goalless draw at Arena Garibaldi – Stadio Romeo Anconetani, Parma will look to return to winning ways when they take on Spal on Matchday 26. Parma produced a fine display in the midweek draw, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Spal. January signing Goran Pandev remains in the recovery room, as well as midfielder Francesco Cassatta, while Nigeria international Simy is pushing for a start.
The Gli Spalini, on the other hand, produced their best display of the season on Tuesday evening, with the team crushing Ternana 5-1 in front of home fans. The visitors aim to escape the danger zone as well, but the two teams seem to be evenly matched ahead of the Stadio Ennio Tardini clash. A close encounter is on the cards, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Midfielder Federico Viviani is rated doubtful for the away side.
