SPAL form and stats

The story so far in the Serie B for SPAL at their home stadium (Stadio Paolo Mazza) is 4 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats. When SPAL hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Cittadella, SPAL, Venezia, Benevento, Cosenza and Perugia), they have won 3 of 4 matches!

It's back home for SPAL, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Benevento away with the result 3-1. Moncini, Celia and Prati found the net in that victory. At last, a league win after three games without. Arena, defender, was given a rating of 7.84/10 in that game, top of the team. Arena won 10 of 13 duels.

Before that, SPAL drew at home versus Ternana.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how SPAL have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 5 and lost 3.

Brescia form and stats

Brescia have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 2-5-8 (15 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Brescia have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Brescia go into this game after a win, the home game against Ternana that ended 1-0. That victory was so crucial for this club, after a painful period of 17 league games in a row not winning. Goalkeeper Andrenacci got the top player rating of the team with 7.85/10. Andrenacci topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that game, the 3-4 loss visiting Ascoli's place.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 17 similar matches played by Brescia in our archives, and the results are: 5 wins for Brescia, 6 draws and 6 defeats.

Lacking goals? 18 of this side's latest 23 league fixtures have seen zero, one or two goals.

The attacking power of Brescia when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 15 league matches away. In the opposite end, Brescia have conceded 28 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Brescia have managed a sequence of 7 consecutive matches without defeat (6-1-0) when facing SPAL.
