Prediction: 1-1
Sampdoria
Spezia and Sampdoria take on each other at Stadio Alberto Picco in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Bianconeri aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Parma and a win over Sampdoria should see them escape the relegation zone. Defender Luca Vignali is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while former Crvena Zvezda striker Diego Falcinelli misses out through suspension.
Andrea Pirlo’s troops, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Sudtirol. As both Sampdoria and Spezia will go for a victory in Saturday’s showdown, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. As for the visiting team, experienced forward Fabio Borini is pushing for a start as Manuel De Luca was forced to leave the pitch after just 24 minutes at the weekend. The 25-year-old has joined defender Alex Ferrari in the treatment room.
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.
