Only six points away from the upper limit of the relegation zone, Spezia must continue to maintain a positive run as she posted in the last two league matches before the World Cup break. Three wins out of four trial matches should have made The Whites appear more confident when hosting Atalanta.
On a head-to-head basis, Spezia has not won in the last four league meetings against Atalanta – one goalless draw and three defeats, conceded 11 goals and scored only four times.
To improve this h2h record, Luca Gotti’s side must be able to take advantage of the negative record that the visitors brought when they visited the Alberto Picco Stadium in the middle of this week.
Three successive defeats in league matches before Qatar 22 saw La Dea’s position slip to sixth and temporarily knocked out of the race for the Serie A title this season. The reason is, it will be quite difficult to catch Napoli who are at the top with an advantage of 14 points.
Even to maintain the opportunity to win a ticket to European competition next season, Atalanta must be wary of the pursuit of AS Roma, which is right below it with equal points, 27, and Udinese, which is only three points behind.
Even if they manage to win when they visit Spezia, Gian Piero Gasperini’s camp also seems unable to shift the position of Inter Milan who are in fifth place with a three point advantage. Inter’s superiority in goal difference, 12 to 7, seems quite difficult to catch in just one match.
