Only a win will satisfy the SPAL supporters in this Stadio Paolo Mazza clash with Pescara, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Serie B table.
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.
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. Hopes of three in a row are alive for SPAL after consecutive victories at their own ground.
SPAL are confident in defense, having played 220 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
A nice win for SPAL last time playing, versus Salernitana. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Mattia Valoti and Federico Di Francesco scoring for the victors. In the game before, an away victory match versus Reggina with a 1-0 scoreline.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Monza are coming to town in three days.
The SPAL manager P. Marino has got the team scoring with 6 from 3 home games in the league. SPAL's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 3 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Pescara form and stats
It's not happening yet for Pescara on their Serie B travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Pescara's last three away games as they have all been lost.
The supporters enjoyed Pescara's previous game versus Cittadella (placed 7th), a Serie B 3-1 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lecce wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Pescara as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. The Pescara defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 10 goals in their away games.
