SPAL hosts Verona in round 18 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, January 5th at Stadio Paolo Mazza (Ferrara)
Before the winter break, SPAL quite unexpectedly defeated Torino, and that result allowed the team to get off the ground. Of course, it is too early to talk about the revival of SPAL since the team is still at the bottom of the standings, but now its margin behind the “safety zone” is only three points. In general, SPAL is a boring team, mainly playing defense first with rare counterattacks. SPAL ended the last five home games with Under 2.5 goals scored.

Verona has obvious problems in the game near its penalty area, but they are visible in matches with teams of a higher level. When meeting with the rivals of SPAL’s level, Verona also shows a boring game, without ratcheting up tensions. In general, the last matches of Verona showed us that the team is a combative middle peasant. The Veronese scored Inter, Juve, and Atalanta on the road. Now Verona has some problems with the squad - five people will miss the upcoming match, in particular, the main destroyer Sofyan Amrabat is injured. The absence of Amrabat is a great loss.
I think that the match will turn out rather boring, with a slight margin in the direction of Verona. I hesitated between a handicap of Verona and Under 2.5 goals scored. I think that under will be a more appropriate result for two nondescript teams.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
