Betting on Spezia
The relegation places are very close to a Spezia team that has gone four matches without a win, and that has only won one of its last seven matches played. With just 19 points earned in 22 matches played, Spezia sits 17th in the standings, only two points ahead of Verona for the final spot that grants a ticket to Serie B.
The team coached by Luca Gotti has had many defensive problems throughout the campaign, and in the last four matches it has played, the team has allowed nine goals and scored just one. With 37 goals conceded, this team has the third-highest amount of goals against in Serie A. Meanwhile, the 19 goals it has scored is the third-lowest amount of goals scored in the Italian championship.
Playing at home does not change things much for Spezia either. It is the third-worst team of the campaign with 12 points attained in 11 matches, and it has not won at home in seven matchdays.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Bartlomiej Dragowski; Przemyslaw Wisniewski, Dimitrios Nikolaou, Kelvin Amian; Emil Holm, Mehdi Bourabia, Ethan Ampadu, Kevin Agudelo, Arkadiusz Reca; Eldor Shomurodov, Daniele Verde.
Betting on Juventus
Juventus’ performance is still inconsistent, and after the point deduction with which it was punished, it is imperative for the team to achieve its third win when it visits Spezia.
Massimiliano Allegri’s team has achieved just two wins in the last five matchdays. Indeed, the team is in ninth place in the standings with 29 points, 10 points behind Lazio in the Conference League standings. Juventus was also held to a 1-1 draw at home by Nantes in the first leg of the Europa League playoffs.
The good news is that it has kept a clean sheet in the last two matches played, and it remains being the team with the second-lowest amount of goals conceded this season with 17.
Playing away from home, the Vecchia Signora have the fifth-highest number of points scored in Serie A with 17, but it is one of the clubs that scores the fewest goals on the road, registering just nine in 10 matches played.
Probable Juventus lineup (4-3-3): Wojciech Szczesny; Danilo, Leonardo Bonucci, Alex Sandro, Mattia De Sciglio; Leandro Paredes, Adrien Rabiot, Nicolo Fagioli; Federico Chiesa, Angel Di Maria, Dusan Vlahovic.
JefeBet Prediction
Juventus should have no problem winning this match despite its inconsistent performance in Serie A.
Spezia has not played well at home either, and with one of the worst attacks on the circuit, it is unlikely that it will be able to score against one of the best defenses in the championship.
The Vecchia Signora has also improved offensively with the return of Dusan Vlahovic and the good performance of Angel Di Maria. So, a result similar to that of matchday 4, when Juventus defeated Spezia 2-0, is very likely to repeat itself.
Prediction: Juventus to win (SPE 0 – JUV 2).
