Fiorentina vs Spezia: Predictions and Betting Tips

 must win for Fiorentina 

La Viola have the chance to climb over their opponents in the Serie A table if they win on Friday. Cesare Prandelli is without a win in three matches and the experienced coach hasn’t been able to turn things around in Florence despite being in charge for just 17 games.

Fiorentina are dangerously close to the relegation zone at 16th and they want to get back to winning ways quickly despite being seven points ahead of 18th positioned Cagliari.

They have difficult games coming up and that gap could close down rapidly if Prandelli doesn’t find a way to raise his team’s spirit and confidence.

Spezia to continue their good form

Having already impressed in their first ever season in Serie A, Spezia will look to build on their incredible victory against Milan last week.

They had a very good away win against Sassuolo before the Milan match, registering a second consecutive win for the second time this season. 

The Eagles have an injury crisis though. Coach Vincenzo Italiano has to deal with six injuries in his team plus two suspended players.

Key Stats

• Fiorentina haven’t won in three matches
• Fiorentina have drawn five of their last eight matches at home
• Spezia are undefeated in three of their last four matches
• Spezia have scored at least one goal in the last two away matches

Fiorentina vs Spezia Prediction

La Viola are going into this match with only one aim and that is to win. Thus Cesare Prandelli will adapt a very attack minded line up and attack from the beginning to secure the three points.

Spezia’s injury and suspension problems means that coach Italiano has a shortage of players in many positions. Spezia will adopt a defensive game and rely on counter attacks to try to get a point at least out of this game.

We predict a low scoring game here. We are going with under 2.5 goals in this match.
