Spezia, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by Sassuolo will have left the Spezia squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Sassuolo's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Consistency in front of goal has been a problem for them at home recently, having failed to score in 5 of their last 6 games. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 23 of their 27 league games.
It has not been their best home spell of late at Stadio Alberto Picco, with 3 defeats and only a single victory in their last 6 home matches. They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing at home this season, with 7 draws in 14 home league games.
Goalscorer M'Bala Nzola will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Spezia.
Salernitana, Recent FormAn important point secured against Bologna will have left Salernitana quite happy with their 2-2 draw. They came away from that fixture with a 42% share of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Bologna, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Paulo Sousa will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 6 away games out of 13 this season, Sousa will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
There will be mixed feelings from I granata, while they've been undefeated in their last 4 league games, they've only manage a drawn in 3 of them.
Boulaye Dia will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Spezia in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Salernitana.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Spezia who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-0 to Salernitana.
I granata will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 7 encounters with Spezia.
Salernitana will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 4 times they've visited Spezia in the league and not won this away fixture at Stadio Alberto Picco for 6 games in a row.
Spezia manager Leonardo Semplici has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Simone Bastoni (Meniscus), Emil Holm (Tendon) and João Moutinho (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Salernitana manager Paulo Sousa ahead of this clash, with Domen Črnigoj (Calf) missing out, which gives Sousa a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
