Season ticket holders at Stadio Alberto Picco haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Spezia languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Sampdoria will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Spezia has the fewest points (3) at home in Serie A
- Sampdoria has the most matches over the total-line (12) in Serie A
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Spezia form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie A this season. Spezia, who have the fewest points (3) at home in Serie A, have only managed 0 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Stadio Alberto Picco. Spezia are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadio Alberto Picco with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Chievo match.
A good away victory last time out for Spezia, who won 2-1 against Napoli (placed 6th). Nobody expected Spezia to beat Napoli in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. Preceding that match was a defeat to Hellas Verona (0-1).
Spezia goalkeeper Ivan Provedel did an outstanding job against Napoli with nine saves, so vital to securing the victory. Spezia made it very difficult for themselves, when Ardian Ismajli got a red card in the 77th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Spezia won the match 2-1! World class coaching! That was the thoughts of V. Italiano when Tommaso Pobega scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.
The Spezia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. Spezia have conceded 17 goals in these home games, a significant number.

3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. That’s the product of Sampdoria playing as the away team in the Serie A this season.
Sampdoria are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Serie A against Inter (placed 2nd). Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Roma's place.
Goalkeeper Emil Audero was absolutely vital in the Sampdoria victory against Inter, making six saves.
Sampdoria find the net regularly in their away games. 10 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. Sampdoria have conceded 13 goals in these games.
