SPAL form and stats

Seven points from three Serie B home games is a great start for SPAL, who are hoping to build on that form here at Stadio Paolo Mazza.

In their previous game, the manager J. Clotet Ruiz led his SPAL to a defeat in the Serie B match away at Ternana. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Paolo Mazza. Defender Elio Capradossi got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.85/10. Capradossi won 7 of 11 duels.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Vicenza in a game that was won 3-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with SPAL perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with SPAL as a small favourite), we find eight games. SPAL has won one of these, drawn two and lost five.
