Team News: Spezia
Duccio Degli Innocenti (Achilles tendon rupture) and Mouhamadou Sarr (Broken arm) will not be taking part for Spezia gaffer Luca D'Angelo.
We are thinking that Spezia will possibly go for a 3-5-2 system for the game, utilising Stefano Gori, P. Wisniewski, Petko Hristov, Ales Matějů, Salvatore Elia, Francesco Cassata, Ádám Nagy, Filippo Bandinelli, Giuseppe Aurelio, F. Pio Esposito and Giuseppe Di Serio.
ℹ️
Team News: Cremonese
Thanks to a mainly full-strength group, there is only the one fitness worry for the Cremonese gaffer Giovanni Stroppa to contend with. Luca Ravanelli (Appendectomy) won’t be playing here.
We reckon that Grigiorossi could decide to utilise a 3-5-2 lineup, starting Andrea Fulignati, Francesco Folino, Federico Ceccherini, Valentin Antov, Tommaso Barbieri, Michele Collocolo, Michele Castagnetti, Jari Vandeputte, Paulo Azzi, Franco Vazquez and Dennis Johnsen.
🧠
Prediction
We’re thinking that Cremonese could find themselves up against it to find the net against this Spezia outfit who we think should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
We’re therefore predicting a very even match with a 1-0 advantage for Spezia when all is said and done.
Expecting it to be tight.
