Spezia form and stats

There's been little loot from Spezia's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 18 away games in the Serie A. Spezia only have 4 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 3 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Spezia who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Empoli was the last time a defeat was avoided.

This game can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Atalanta with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Midfield player Maggiore was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.4/10. Maggiore served one assist and hit three key passes.

A loss against Lazio was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Spezia when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing four times, drawing zero and winning two games.

The attacking power of Spezia when travelling is not overwhelming with 17 goals scored from 18 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Spezia, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
