Spezia, Recent FormA 1-1 draw in their last match against Sampdoria meant Spezia had to settle for a share of the points. During that encounter they had 55% possession and had 19 attempts on goal with 7 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 13 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have been misfiring up front at home recently, having been unable to produce a goal in 4 of their last 6 matches. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 27 of their 31 league matches this season.
This can't be seen as a good run of form at their home stadium, with 3 defeats and only 1 win from their last 6 league matches there.
Monza, Recent FormMonza will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-2 winners in their home fixture against Fiorentina. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Fiorentina who had 10 attempts and 5 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Gianluca Caprari will be hoping to create problems for Spezia in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Monza.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Spezia who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-0 to Monza.
Spezia manager Leonardo Semplici has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Emil Holm (Groin), João Moutinho (Unknown) and Petar Zovko (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Monza manager Raffaelle Palladino has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
