Our prediction for this Serie A match:
As expected, Spezia were beaten by Juventus in Turin (0-3) on Tuesday evening, but their display in the defeat to CR7 and CO. was anything but poor. The Aquilotti aim to get back on course as soon as possible, and we predict that they will fight tooth and nail against Benevento. All Mattiello, Rafael, and Saponara are likely to miss the game through injuries.
Benevento, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to find the net in the previous three league fixtures. The Gli Stregoni do not seem to be at their sharpest ahead of the trip to Liguria, meaning that Spezia will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the Italian top flight. Former Torino and Genoa attacker Iago Falque should be the only absentee in the away team in Saturday’s football match.
Highlighted Player (Luca Mora):
Luca Mora began his senior career at Castellarano (2007-2009) and in 2009 he moved to fellow lower-league club Crociati Noceto. Two years later he signed for Pro Patria and after making 32 appearances in the league for the club, Mora joined Alessandria.
The Italian midfielder, who was born in Parma on May 10, 1988, quickly established himself as a first team regular at the club and you should know that he scored six goals in 86 appearances in the league for L’ Orso. In 2015 he moved to SPAL and he has been playing for the Biancazzurri ever since.
Luca Mora scored seven goals, while providing three assists for his team mates in 35 appearances for SPAL in the 2016/2017 season. Mora’s main position is central midfield, but he plays as a left midfielder as well. His contract with SPAL, who will compete in the Serie A in the 2017/2018 season, expires on June 30, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Benevento):
FC Benevento secured promotion to the Serie A for the first time in their history at the end of the 2016/2017 campaign, but it has to be noted that they finished the regular season in 5th place in the standings. The Stregoni (Witches) did well to beat Perugia and Carpi in the promotion play-offs and, as a result, they are going to taste a top-flight football.
Benevento were founded in 1929 as Associazione Calcio Benevento and back then they played their home games at Meomartini, the venue which was built by Ciccio Minocchia. Nowadays, the Stregoni welcome their rivals at Stadio Giro Vigorito and the capacity of the stadium is 12.847. Benevento are well known for their yellow jerseys with red stripes, whilst they wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels.
After Napoli, Salernitana and Avellino Benevento become the fourth club from Campania to compete in the Serie A. Matches between the aforementioned teams are well known as Campania derbies.
