SPAL hosts Pordenone in round 22 of Italian Serie B. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 9th at Stadio Paolo Mazza (Ferrara)
SPAL played the last three matches of the championship with the same 1-1 score. However, the White and Blues met with the vice-leader Monza and one of the candidates for relegation from Serie B (16th Cosenza). SPAL is currently in 5th place, and this is the playoff zone for a ticket to Serie A. At the same time, only one point separates the White and Blues from the 2nd line providing a direct ticket to the elite of Italian football. The team has no problems with scoring (the goal difference is 28-19), but it does not often arrange goal extravaganza. More than three goals in matches with its participation were scored only four times.

Pordenone plays in Serie B for the second season in its history. In the last one, the team almost made it to the company of the strongest but to Frosinone in the playoff semifinals. Now it occupies the 9th line and lags behind the playoff zone by two points. In the last round, Pordenone interrupted its unbeaten streak that lasted six matches in a row – the Black and Greens lost to Vicenza at home (1-2). By the way, it was only the 4th defeat (SPAL has the same amount) in the championship. And only five matches of Pordenone ended with Over 3.5 goals scored.
Pordenone has never played in the elite division, unlike SPAL that left it in the previous season. Yes, the Black and Greens looked good in the current championship and suffered only two defeats on the road. But they will hardly be able to take more than one point from a much more experienced opponent. SPAL simply will not allow it. Its squad looks more qualified, and most of the regulars who played in Serie A remained in the club. The White and Blues played with Over 3.5 goals scored four times, and Pordenone did it only twice in October last year. On the road, the Black and Greens play exclusively defense first, and they are not bad at it. They conceded only 18 goals, and it is the 2nd indicator of reliability in the tournament. As a result, SPAL will probably not lose the next home match, and the teams simply will not be able to score more than three goals due to the reliability of their defensive lines.
Prediction for the match: SPAL to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 3.5 goals scored
