The story so far in the Serie A for Spezia at their home stadium (Stadio Alberto Picco) is 3 wins, 7 draws and 4 defeats. When Spezia hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Cremonese, Hellas Verona, Sampdoria, Empoli, Lecce and Spezia), they have won 2 of 5 matches!

Before that, Spezia had a home game versus Inter which ended with a victory 2-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Spezia have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 6 and lost 1.

Spezia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games. On the other hand, Spezia have conceded 20 goals.
