Spezia vs Verona – Prediction, and Match Preview
Spezia vs Verona – In the event that two teams finish the season with the same amount of points, the Italian Serie A introduced a new regulation by introducing decisive matches for the championship, European positions, and relegation.
We will have one of these games right away because Spezia and Verona finished the 2022–23 campaign with points just outside the penalty area.
Thus, on Sunday evening, the two teams will square off in a single leg at the neutral MAPEI Stadium – Citta del Tricolore to determine who would end the season as the third relegated team.
Last weekend, both teams came within one goal of clinching their place in the elite class, but they were unfortunate to lose their respective matches against Roma and AC Milan due to late goals conceded.
Spezia were particularly unlucky as they conceded a stoppage-time penalty goal to lose 2-1 to Roma in the Stadio Olimpico seven days prior.
There are no clear favorites on Sunday, especially when taking into account the teams’ recent performances, as neither group has been uprooting any recent trees.
In their last three league games, Spezia have only managed one goal, losing the last two to Roma (1-2) and Torino (0-4) respectively.
Even worse, Verona has only earned one point in the last four Serie A games. In the process, they have conceded three goals in two of the last three games (against Atalanta and AC Milan, respectively).
Spezia vs Verona – Betting Analysis
With two wins over Verona this season, Spezia has a stronger head-to-head record thanks to a 1-2 triumph in November of last year’s away game at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi.
Three of the last five head-to-head games, including both of the previous three encounters between the two teams, have featured goals at both ends.
However, there were no goals in the most recent H2H game, which was played in March of this year. A spot in the top division of Italian football is on the line in this elimination game, therefore the stakes are extremely high.
Goals have often proven hard to come by for both teams lately. We anticipate both managers to take a cautious approach, and we strongly like the Under 1.5 goals FT prediction at the 2.62 odds.
What are the top odds for this match?
In terms of the bookies’ odds on the WDW market, a victory for Spezia is best priced at 2.93, backing the game finishing all-square is 3.04, and staking on victory for Hellas Verona gets 2.7. Those are the most competitive market prices that can be secured right now.
