On Wednesday, Spezia will invite lower-league team Brescia to the Stadio Alberto Picco for the Coppa Italia second round (October 19). In the opening round, the hosts defeated Como 5-1 at home while Brescia defeated Pisa 4-1 away.
Although Spezia has lost their past three Serie A games, they managed to win last time against the Cremonese. They were able to draw 2-2 at home thanks to goals from M’Bala Nzola and Emil Holm in rapid succession in the first half. The visitors, however, have not won in their past three Serie B contests and most recently suffered a 2-1 loss to Cagliari.
Spezia vs Brescia Prediction
This season, Spezia is unbeaten at home in all competitions, and they have scored twice in their past four league contests. They are the home favourites and ought to score a couple goals.
Brescia, on the other hand, has lost its past two away games but has scored in each of its last seven games, so the chances of them doing so again seem excellent.
However, Spezia should eke out a close victory considering their strong home record against Le Rondinelle.
Spezia 2-1 Brescia is the prediction.
