Spezia vs Monza Prediction

Spezia Form

Spezia have been too mediocre in their last three matches, where a win has failed to come their way. Against Fiorentina, they gained a point in a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against Lazio, who ran out 0-3 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 1-1 draw with Sampdoria. Spezia only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Stadio Alberto Picco in the Serie A. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored three and conceded ten goals.

Monza Form

Monza went unbeaten through their last three matches, which began with a 2-2 draw against Udinese. A 0-1 win against Inter followed, before they beat Fiorentina by 3-2. Monza won three of a possible six away matches in the Serie A, as well as playing two draws and suffering one defeat. They scored seven while also conceding six times.

Spezia and Monza looks like an equal pairing, and since it's difficult to separate one from the other currently, we wouldn't be surprised by a draw.

Monza recorded five wins from their last ten games against teams placed in the bottom six and collected 19 points. They scored 17 goals while conceding nine. Spezia claimed five wins, 12 draws as well as 14 defeats in the Serie A this season. Monza are looking at 11 wins, eight draws and 12 defeats in the Serie A.
