Spezia hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 10 points and a 16th position in the Serie A table. Visiting Bologna holds 12th place with 12 pts.
- Spezia has the most matches over the total-line (9) in Serie A
- Bologna have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
It's no vacation for neither Spezia nor Bologna as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Spezia form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie A, Spezia, who have the the worst goal difference (-7) at home in Serie A, have managed 0 wins, 2 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 5 games.
In their previous game, the manager V. Italiano led his Spezia to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Crotone. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Alberto Picco. Preceding that match was the home game against Lazio that was lost 1-2.
The manager V. Italiano will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Inter in only four days.
The Spezia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. Spezia have conceded 12 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Bologna form and stats
1-0-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Bologna in their Serie A matches away.
Bologna might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Roma proved too strong as Bologna slumped to a 1-5 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. Prior to that match, the Bologna manager S. Mihajlović faced defeat when travelling to Inter and losing 1-3.
Bologna lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one. Bologna did not look prepared in the first half against Roma and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Serie A trip to Torino.
The attacking power of Bologna when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 5 league matches away. Bologna have conceded 9 goals in these games.
