Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Vicenza in 12th and SPAL in 7th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Vicenza form and stats
Vicenza's struggle is real here at Stadio Romeo Menti with only 11 points collected from 11 Serie B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-8-2.
Vicenza manager D. Di Carlo and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Salernitana (placed 6th) in the Serie B. Ahead of that match, Vicenza lost 1-2 at home to Monza.
Stefano Giacomelli was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Salernitana after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
Vicenza has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. On the other hand, Vicenza have conceded 13 goals.
