Spezia hosts Salernitana in round 8 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, October 16h at Stadio Alberto Picco (La Spezia)
Spezia beat Salernitana in the last three head-to-head matches (and always the score was 2-1), but it happened in Serie B. In the season before last, the Eaglets and the Garnets could not be called competitors, but now they are such and have four points each. The difference is that the Black-and-Whites have lost all home games (0-0-3) and have the worst defense (8-19). Salernitana has lost all away matches (0-0-3) and has the worst attack (5-15). Perhaps something will change now?

Only one thing can change: after a competitive battle at Stadio Alberto Picco, one of the teams may end up in the abyss. On the eve of Ligurian derbies, Thiago Motta may not be tolerated at the helm of Spezia. Yes, like Italiano, he continues to play daring attacking football, but the team needs points. The coach will not give up his philosophy and will throw his charges to the wolves. But the personnel situation is terrible, especially in defense. Bastoni is disqualified, and Sala, Sena, Bourabia, Colley, and Agudelo are injured. The participation of Erlic, Reca, Kovalenko, and Maggiore is questionable.
Fabrizio Castori also takes risks, but he pulled Salernitana into Serie A after a century of disgrace. And in the last round, the Garnets finally won their first match against Genoa. For all the dryness of the numbers in the attack, Salernitana has Simy and Ribery, and it is time for them to score. Moreover, Spezia has the worst defense and does not park buses. So, this is anyone’s game without a clear favorite. I am only sure of the abundance of violations. However, the teams may well exchange goals.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
