Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Stadio Alberto Picco will host Saturday’s football game between Spezia and Modena, the two teams who shared the spoils with Brescia and Cremonese respectively in midweek. The Bianconeri have been in a fine form of late, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to secure automatic promotion to Serie A. Luca D’Angelo has a full squad to choose from, except for Senegal goalkeeper Mouhamadou Sarr, who remains in the recovery room.
The Canarini, on the other hand, are stuck in the danger zone with 11 points on their account. As Modena have been struggling on the road (0-3-2) this term, we predict that Spezia are going to pick up all three points from the match. Modena forward Giuseppe Caso should keep his place in the starting XI after finding the net in the midweek draw with Cremonese.
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.
