Fiorentina are welcoming SPAL for another important game after their 1-1 result against 11th-placed Bologna.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Fiorentina form and stats
Fiorentina's struggle is real here at Stadio Artemio Franchi with only 9 points collected from 9 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-4.
Fiorentina manager G. Iachini and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Bologna (placed 10th) in the Serie A. Before that game, the home loss against Roma with the scoreline 1-4.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Fiorentina, as the Coppa Italia home game vs Atalanta is only three days away.
The Fiorentina fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. Fiorentina have conceded 14 from these games.
SPAL form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for SPAL so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-7 (win-draw-lose).
The manager L. Semplici was unhappy after their last game, a Serie A match played at their home ground Stadio Paolo Mazza. SPAL suffered a 0-2 loss to Hellas Verona (placed 11th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Torino at their stadium, the result 2-1.
SPAL goalkeeper Etrit Berisha had a great day against Hellas Verona, but despite making 6 saves the loss could not be avoided.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the SPAL manager L. Semplici as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Milan.
Goals are few and far between in SPAL's away league games. Only 4 goals from 9 travels. SPAL have conceded 15 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last four meetings: 2 - 2 - 0 (Fiorentina wins - draws - SPAL wins). As for goals, 2 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 2 had two or less.Top Goalscorers
