This could be an interesting match as Spezia have their presumed home advantage while Atalanta are ahead 5 points in the Serie A table.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Spezia form and stats
Spezia have played three Serie A home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Spezia are returning here after visiting Benevento in a Serie A game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. Tommaso Pobega and M'Bala Nzola (2) scored the goal(s). Before that game, the home loss against Juventus with the scoreline 1-4.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Bologna are coming to town in three days.
Spezia has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Spezia have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.
Atalanta form and stats
The visitors, who have the most scored goals (11) away in Serie A, are W3-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.
Atalanta delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Inter (placed 7th) in their previous match; a Serie A game. A loss against Liverpool was the result prior to that, in a Champions League home game.
The draw against Inter came from a losing position. The Atalanta manager G. Gasperini brought on Aleksey Miranchuk as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
The schedule is very tough for Atalanta now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Champions League game at Liverpool is waiting in only four days.
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 11 goals in 4 league games away this season. Atalanta have conceded 8 goals in these games.
