SPAL form and stats

SPAL have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 2-6-6 (14 played). Bitter travels for SPAL as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Reggina match.

There might be some fixture complaints from SPAL as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-1 against Cosenza. It is worrying for SPAL that their goalie Alfonso pulled off seven saves in the Cosenza game, but still were unable to stop a beating.

Before that, SPAL secured a home win against Cittadella with the score 2-1.

SPAL are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 8 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting SPAL as they have only managed to score 10 times from 14 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 18 goals have been conceded by SPAL in these games.
