Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Ascoli, Spal will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Perugia on Matchday 11. The Gli Spallini want to keep on climbing the standings, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. Ivory Coast international Emmanuel Latte Lath, who limped off with injury in the last league match, is unlikely to feature against Perugia.
The newcomers, on the other hand, suffered a 2-0 loss to Reggina in their last league match. Perugia aim to get back on course as soon as possible, but, taking everything into account, a close encounter is on the cards, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. All Dimitrios Sounas, Salvatore Burrai, Andrea Bianchimano, and Kalifa Manneh are injured for the away team.
