Prediction: 1-0
Spezia
Following a 3-1 loss to Inter at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Udinese will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Spezia at Dacia Arena. The Zebrette aim to put an end to their four-game winless run, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Bianconeri. Enzo Ebosse limped off with injury at the weekend, with fellow defender Adam Masina likely to step up.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Juventus, and a win over Spezia will see them escape the danger zone. Spezia, though, do not seem to be at their sharpest, and seeing that they suffered four defeats in the previous five league fixtures, home win should be considered. All Emil Holm, Simone Bastoni, and Jeroen Zoet are sidelined with injuries, while the likes of Joao Moutinho, Jacopo Sala, and Szymon Zurkowski are rated doubtful for the match.
Highlighted Player (Nicolas Andrade):
Nicolas Andrade is a Brazilian goalkeeper who plays for Hellas Verona in Serie A. Nicolas was born in Colorado de Oeste on April 12, 1988 and he is a product of Atletico Mineiro youth school. The 190-cm-tall shot-stopper played for the likes of Villa Nova, Tombense and Anapolina in Brazil before joining Italian side Hellas Verona in 2010.
In 2014 he was sent on loan to Virtus Lanciano and he made 35 appearances in the league for the club. At the end of the 2014/2015 season the Brazilian goalkeeper signed a loan deal with Trapani, but he eventually returned to the “City of Love”. Nicolas managed to keep no less than 17 clean sheets in 42 appearances for Hellas Verona in the 2016/2017 Serie B campaign.
He has established himself as a first-choice goalkeeper at Verona, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the Brazil national football team. His contract with the Mastini should expire on June 30, 2019.
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.
