Cosenza are welcoming Spezia for another important game after their 2-3 result against 6th-placed Ascoli.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Spezia have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-11-25 (win-draw-loss) from 43 matches.
It's quite the trip for Spezia when visiting Cosenza as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
Cosenza form and stats
Cosenza's struggle is real here at Stadio San Vito with only 6 points collected from 6 Serie B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-2.
In their previous game, the manager P. Braglia led his Cosenza to a defeat in the Serie B match away at Ascoli. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio San Vito. 2-2 away at Trapani before that.
A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Ascoli) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3.
This is expected to be a close game, with Cosenza perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cosenza as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Cosenza has won 6 of these, drawn 5 and lost 2.
Cosenza has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. 6 goals have been conceded.
Spezia form and stats
