Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Spezia will look to bounce back from a massive 4-1 loss to Cittadella when they take on Modena in the Serie B round 19. The Bianconeri are still sitting in the relegation zone, but a win over Modena could see them escape the relegation zone. Head coach Luca D’Angelo will watch the game from the stands as he was sent off in the last league match, while talented midfielder Rachid Kouda should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Canarini, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Cremonese, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Spezia, who are desperate to get back on course in the Italian second tier. Midfielder Mario Gargiulo remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
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.
