Spezia vs Salernitana Prediction: Will the Pomegranates be able to interrupt their terrible tradition?

Since 2018, La Spezia has beaten Salernitana at home four times in a row in Serie A and Serie B. Will the Pomegranates be able to interrupt this terrible tradition in the upcoming game?

The Eagles recently replaced Luca Gotti with Leonardo Semplici, the former coach of the SPAL club. Under his guidance, the team managed to play four matches and lost only once. In the last game before the pause, La Spezia failed to beat Sassuolo away in a 0:1 loss. Before that, the Eagles played twice in a draw with Udinese and Verona and even beat Inter - 2:1. This is a promising start for the new coach, given the team's position in the league. La Spezia is now dangerously close to the relegation zone with just five points.

The Pomegranates also changed their coach in the course of the championship. Now Salernitana is led by Portuguese Paulo Sousa, who replaced Davide Nicola. As in the case of La Spezia, the change in coaching immediately affected the results for the better. After losing 0:2 to Lazio at home, Salernitana went four games without defeat - a 3:0 home defeat to Monza and draws with Sampdoria, AC Milan, and Bologna. Salerno is also obliged to fight for points in every game. They are only 8 points behind the relegation zone.

Spezia: Dragowski, Ampadu, Caldara, Nikolaou, Adú, Agudelo, Bourabia, Ekdal, Gyasi, Shomurodov, Maldini.

Salernitana: Ochoa, Pirola, Gyomber, Daniliuc, Bradaric, Coulibaly, Bohinen, Mazzocchi, Kastanos, Candreva, Dia.

The upcoming game is a meeting between direct rivals in the fight for survival. Naturally, no one will give up points for nothing, which means a draw seems a very realistic outcome. Especially after the change of head coach, Salernitan held three draws out of five, and La Spezia even two out of four.
