Team News: Spezia
Duccio Degli Innocenti (Achilles tendon rupture) and Mouhamadou Sarr (Broken arm) won’t be able to feature for Spezia boss Luca D'Angelo.
It looks as if Spezia may well make use of the 3-5-2 system with 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.
📰
Team News: Cremonese
Owing to an otherwise available group of players, there’s only the lone fitness problem for the Cremonese gaffer Giovanni Stroppa to be concerned about. Luca Ravanelli (Appendectomy) won’t be playing here.
We reckon that Grigiorossi might play in a 3-5-2 system, going with 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.
