Spezia form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first Serie B game of the season here at Stadio Alberto Picco. Last season these fans witnessed 10 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses from Spezia's 18 home games.

The fans are hoping that Spezia will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Serie B game against Pordenone (placed 6th). Preceding that match was the home game against Crotone that was lost 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Spezia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Spezia as a small favourite), we find nine games. Spezia has won 6 of these, drawn 2 and lost 1.

There will be little rest for Spezia after this match as they are travelling to Ascoli for a Serie B game in only three days.

Spezia has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Perugia form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Serie B, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 5 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats from 18 matches.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Perugia in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Perugia, 4 draws and 7 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Perugia are hosting Frosinone in the Serie B only three days away.
