The season is still fairly new and the Serie B table has to be read with caution. So far SPAL find themselves in 9th position and Salernitana are placed 3rd.

SPAL and Salernitana should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

SPAL form and stats

Only two Serie B home games for SPAL so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

SPAL enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Reggina's place. The match ended 1-0 with L. Castro scoring. Preceding that game was the away draw at Crotone (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) that finished 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how SPAL have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost one.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the SPAL at home in the league. 4 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
