Spezia open their doors to Como for another absorbing Serie B fixture here at Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi.

Not much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Serie B fixture only four days earlier. That game was an away game at Catanzaro, so at least Spezia are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Spezia form and stats

The followers are hoping that Spezia will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the game against Catanzaro (placed 3rd). Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Moro for missing a penalty kick versus Catanzaro in the 20th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. Midfield player Esposito got a match rating of 7.44 in that game, the max score being 10. Esposito dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 59 successful passes (of 66 total).

3-3 away at Sudtirol before that.

Como form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Serie B ended in defeat. Last season Como had these away match statistics: Played 19; won 2, drew 10 and lost 7.

There were no winners in Como's previous match, the home game that ended 2-2 vs Reggiana (placed 15th). It looked so good for Como vs Reggiana, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw. Midfielder Iovine was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.44. Iovine signed up for two assists, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Venezia's place.

It's early days yet, but Como has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last three meetings: one - one - one (Spezia wins - draws - Como wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
