Spezia Preview – Can Spezia take momentum into play-offs?
3rd placed Spezia are another side that are guaranteed their play-off spot as the hosts possess a seven-point cushion above 9th placed Chievo with just two matches remaining of the Serie B season, although recent results have been a bit of a mixed bag.
Spezia’s following results sequence underlines their recent inconsistencies as they’ve won two, lost two, won two and lost one, drawn one, as they head into this upcoming clash against a Virtus Entella side whose play-off hopes are dwindling.
The hosts at least boast a pretty good home record though which stands at 10-3-5 30/18 and includes winning nine of their last 12 matches at their Stadio Alberto Picco, while seven of these last 123 matches have also seen the hosts score 2 goals or more.
Virtus Entella Preview – Can Virtus Entella produce turnaround?
Mathematically, Monday’s visitors, Virtus Entella, still have a chance of capturing a top eight finish in Serie B as they trail 8th placed Salernitana but they have to win these last two matches of the season back-to-back and they face a tough trip to face high-flying Spezia to start off with on Monday night.
However, this may well be easier said than done as Virtus Entella have managed to pick up just one win from their previous six matches overall, which came in the shape of a 4-2 win on the road at Empoli, but results overall away from home have generally let the visitors down this term.
An away record of 4-5-9 25/32 includes winning just one of their last eight matches on their travels and also consists of four defeats at Frosinone, Trapani, Cosenza and Pordenone. In addition, Virtus Entella have kept just two clean sheets away from home all season which could cause the visitors further problems here.
