The Frosinone & Spezia managers A. Nesta and V. Italiano are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Serie B league table.
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 (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 9-12-21 (win-draw-loss) from 42 matches.
