Spezia – Cagliari : Preview & Prediction
Even if it is not the most interesting match of this 29th day of Serie A, it is worth the diversions because it features two teams fighting for a place in Serie A next season. In 16th and 17th place respectively, with a three and four point lead over the relegation zone, the team that loses on Saturday will lose more than three points in the race for survival. After a very good period from January to February, Thiago Motta’s men are experiencing a harsh reality check with five consecutive games without a win and four consecutive defeats against three top teams (Fiorentina, Juventus and AS Roma). Having won just once on their home ground in the last five games, the Aquilotti have no choice but to offer a reaction to their fans who refuse to see their team close to the relegation zone!
Cagliari, who have long been at the bottom of the table, have turned the corner in 2022 with two defeats in their last nine league games. Despite losing to Lazio last weekend, Walter Mazzarri’s side have taken 15 points from a possible 27, more than they have since the start of the season! Cragno and his team-mates have no intention of stopping, even though they have gone four games in a row without a win against their opponents. Joao Pedro, the club’s top scorer with ten goals, last scored at the end of January and needs to find the net again to help his team’s survival hopes.
Spezia have lost three of their last four home games.
Spezia have a better defence than their opponents… 50 goals conceded against 51!
Cagliari and La Spezia went 2-2 in the first leg.
Cagliari have not won at La Spezia since November 2015.
Cagliari are on a three-game unbeaten run away from home (two wins and a draw).
In better form than their opponents, Cagliari have a real shot at this game. A win for the Rossoblu could see them move ahead of Spezia in the standings and move six points clear of the red zone.
