On April 6, the "Alberto Picco" stadium will host the 32nd round match of Serie B in Italy, where "Spezia" will face "Sampdoria". I suggest betting on goals/cards/winner for this match.
"Spezia"
The team recently finally got the chance to debut at the Serie A level. Moreover, Vincenzo Italiano not only led his players there but also kept them there. Initially, even after this coach's departure, they managed to maintain the necessary level to keep their positions. But in the end, luck was not on their side: in 2023, they actually finished above "Verona" on additional indicators, but with equal points. As a result, local regulations required a playoff match, "spareggio" - and they lost it, missing out on the seventeenth place. History could have repeated itself already in Serie B. But last spring, they managed to improve and distance themselves from the danger zone.
But now Luca d'Angelo, who continues to be trusted, and his players are really good. There was talk that they could make it directly to Serie A. But they've allowed too many slip-ups recently. Only "Pisa", by the way, a direct competitor, was beaten in recent weeks. But then they managed to lose at home to "Brescia" 0-1.
"Sampdoria"
The club is quite well-known and has an impressive list of trophies. However, the main successes came at the end of the last century. In the current one, there were only occasional appearances in European competitions. However, they are mixed with relegations to the second division. Recently there was another, and they couldn't return immediately: in 2024, they finished seventh, but didn't last long in the playoffs.
After new setbacks, even after the summer break, they removed Pirlo - but things didn't get better, rather the opposite. Now, under Semplici, they are balancing on the brink of relegation, not winning often, but at least mostly drawing, which leaves them chances to stay in Serie B. Although "Frosinone" in the last round caused a 0-3 defeat.
Match facts
- "Spezia" has drawn four times in the last seven matches
- On average, Spezia scores 1.45 goals and concedes 0.74 goals per match

H2H
In 2024, both clubs ended both encounters in goalless draws.
Spezia vs Sampdoria Prediction
Bookmakers believe that the hosts can overcome their problems and achieve success. If they want to return to Serie A, such matches need to be won - let's believe they can do it (odds - 1.69).
