After a home win over Empoli (1-0) in the first round, Luca Gotti's team has not won any more matches. Unlucky result, although it is worth noting the level of the opponents. First, Spezia were defeated on the road by Inter (0-3). Then, Spezia got points from Sassuolo (2-2). Last weekend, the Eagles failed to beat Juventus away, 0-2. At the start of the season, it is already clear that Spezia are unlikely to steadily score points against superior teams, but they will definitely compete with the middling and outsiders in Serie A.
Bologna can't win yet
Four rounds played, Sinisa Mihajlovic's team has only two points. Bologna lost two away matches against top contenders, 1-2 to Lazio and 0-2 to AC Milan, failing to defeat Verona (1-1). Last Thursday, the Red and Blues also failed to beat Salernitana at home. Bologna took the lead at the beginning of the second half, thanks to Marko Arnautovic who converted a penalty, but couldn't hold on to this advantage: Salerno scored in the 89th minute to leave Bologna without a win again (1-1).
Injuries and suspensions
- Spezia: Kevin Agudelo, Aurelien Nguiamba, Salvador Ferrer will not play. Daniel Maldini is questionable.

Four games saw the Eagles create, according to xg-statistics, goal chances only for 1.93 goals without taking penalties into account. Bologna will take advantage of these struggles to beat Luca Gotti's team.
