Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Spezia will be aiming to continue their fine form when they face Bari in Serie B round 10. After back-to-back wins over Reggiana and Salernitana, Spezia have proven their worth, particularly at the back, as they are now eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet. With momentum on their side and a full squad available for selection, Luca D’Angelo’s men will be confident to give fans yet another reason to celebrate.
The Biancorossi, on the other hand, come into this match following an underwhelming 1-1 draw with Catanzaro over the weekend. Their recent performances have lacked consistency, and with Lorenzo Sgarbi sidelined with injury, Bari may struggle to break down Spezia's solid defence. The visitors have failed to impress in key moments and will need to step up if they are to pose a threat in this fixture. Given the Bianconeri's strong form and defensive stability, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side.
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.
