Here's another exciting fixture in the Serie B. Catanzaro is in the 5th place after featuring in two fixtures. They host Spezia who are placed 10th after one matches.
7-8-24 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Spezia when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 39 matches are 36-79 (scored/conceded).
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
These are active days for the host team, as they played only three days ago in the Serie B. Thankfully the previous game, versus Ternana, was also a home game here at Stadio Nicola Ceravolo. The away team is better rested.
Catanzaro form and stats
The hosts won their first Serie B game here at Stadio Nicola Ceravolo, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Catanzaro last season were 18 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses from 19 games.
Catanzaro's last game was hosting Ternana (placed 17th) and winning 2-1. Catanzaro goalkeeper Fulignati did an outstanding job against Ternana with seven saves, so vital to securing the victory.
0-0 away at Cremonese before that.It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Catanzaro at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Spezia form and stats
Let's have a look at how Spezia performed last season in the Serie A: They landed a 17th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 13 draws and 19 defeats. In total they scored 31 and conceded {62 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 5 and lost 12 with 13/32 goals scored/conceded. 0-1-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Spezia in their Serie B matches away.
Spezia has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Sudtirol for a 3-3 draw. As you can tell from the result, the match against Sudtirol was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? The attacker Moro got a match rating of 8.62 in that game. Moro scored two goals.
One game before, 2-2 at home hosting Venezia (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) in the Coppa Italia.
A quick return to home after this game, as Spezia are hosting Como in the Serie B only four days away.
It's early days yet, but Spezia has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
