Spezia Preview – Can Spezia win three on trot?
After suffering worrying back-to-back defeats against Pisa and Frosinone, Friday evening’s hosts, Spezia, have since responded in positive fashion by recording back-to-back wins over Cosenza 5-1 at home and a 1-0 win on the road at Livorno to set their promotion push back on track.
3rd placed Spezia trail 2nd placed Crotone by a five-point margin and although they’ll be kicking themselves for the recent losses which resulted in them losing ground to Crotone, Spezia have won four of their last six matches overall in Serie B and will be keen to grab a third win on the trot against this lowly Venezia outfit.
Form on home turf at their Stadio Alberto Picco has also been impressive as their overall home record of 10-3-4 30/17 includes just one defeat out of their last 13 matches, a sequence which consists of 10 wins so Spezia will be in confident mood here.
Venezia Preview – Can Venezia avoid relegation play-offs?
15th placed Venezia continue to hover dangerously above the relegation play-off spots after picking up just two points from the last possible nine on offer due to a 2-0 defeat at home to Empoli which was followed by back-to-back draws with Benevento and Pescara.
The visitors have actually suffered just the one defeat though from their last six matches and this improved run of results also include wins against Ascoli and Livorno although it should be noted that both of these teams also currently occupy positions in the bottom half of Serie B.
It’s a strange fact that Venezia have actually performed better on the road than on home turf at their Stadio Pierluigi Penzo as their overall away record of 6-8-3 18/15 and having lost just one of their previous eight matches, this will give the visitors hope that they can get something out of this tough looking encounter.
