SPAL form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie B this season. SPAL have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Stadio Paolo Mazza. It's been an uphill battle for SPAL in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Como game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
SPAL haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 221 minutes ago. Mancosu scored that one.
SPAL lost their last game at Frosinone (placed 8th) after a 0-4 scoreline. As you see from the result above, SPAL suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Midfield player Viviani got a match rating of 7.33 in that game, the max score being 10. Viviani hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 63 successful passes (of 75 total).
Preceding that match was the home game against Brescia that was lost 0-2.The match schedule is unforgiving for SPAL as they have a new game in only three days, a Serie B match thankfully also at home. Pisa are visiting.
A decent goal production from SPAL in their home games so far, with 16 goals from 9 league matches. SPAL have conceded 16 from these games. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Ternana at their stadium, the result 2-0.Benevento have another match away in just three sleeps, a Serie B fixture versus Alessandria. A grim diary for the visitors!
