SPAL form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for SPAL so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-10 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for SPAL who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Atalanta was the last time a defeat was avoided. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as SPAL have lost on their last two travels.

The manager L. Di Biagio was unhappy after their last game, a Serie A match played at their home ground Stadio Paolo Mazza. SPAL suffered a 1-2 loss to Juventus (placed 2nd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lecce wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

SPAL are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, six draws and five defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting SPAL as they have only managed to score 8 times from 13 away games in the league. SPAL's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 24 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Parma and SPAL have met before this season: SPAL - Parma 1-0. Head-to-head totals (for the last three meetings): Parma won zero games, zero matches ended with a draw and SPAL has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / two
