Spezia come up against visiting side Cagliari at Stadio Alberto Picco in their Serie A tie on Saturday, and we have the latest injury news and predicted line ups to hand.
Spezia will be hoping to bounce back here following a 1-0 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Juventus. It looks as if Spezia may well opt for a 4-3-3 system this time and select Ivan Provedel, Salvador Ferrer, Martin Erlic, Dimitrios Nikolaou, Arkadiusz Reca, Giulio Maggiore, Jakub Kiwior, Simone Bastoni, E. Quartsin Gyasi, Rey Manaj and Daniele Verde.
Léo Sena and Jacopo Sala won’t be able to feature for Spezia boss Thiago Motta.
Possible Spezia team against Cagliari
After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Lazio in Serie A action, Cagliari will be aiming to make amends here. We reckon that Casteddu / Rossoblu seem likely to begin the game with a 3-5-2 system, choosing Alessio Cragno, Edoardo Goldaniga, Matteo Lovato, Andrea Carboni, Raoul Bellanova, Razvan Marin, Alberto Grassi, Daniele Baselli, Dalbert, Leonardo Pavoletti and Joao Pedro.
Cagliari boss Walter Mazzarri has some current player fitness concerns. Damir Ceter (Knee Problems), Nahitan Nández (Knee Problems), Kevin Strootman (Knee Surgery), Marko Rog (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Sebastian Walukiewicz (Hip Injury) can’t be considered.
