Duccio Degli Innocenti (Achilles tendon rupture) and Mouhamadou Sarr (Broken arm) won’t be available for Spezia boss Luca D'Angelo.

Prediction
Our feeling is that Spezia can and should dominate possession and create several successful chances.
At the same time, Cosenza will be up against it to get shooting opportunities although we do reckon that they could well end up hitting back at some stage, too.
We’re predicting a 3-1 winning margin for Spezia at the end of the match.
