Serie A – Season Continues – Spezia Calcio v Internazionale on Match-day 33

Friday at the Stadio Alberto Picco, as Spezia host Inter in the Serie A.

With Champion’s League positions always a key motivation, second placed Inter remain in contention as they travel to fifteenth placed Spezia.

Spezia Calcio’s campaign so far has seen them accrue 33 points this season

Spezia will be hoping for a win, following a disappointing 0-0 away draw against Empoli in their last game.

Also, suffering five losses in eight fixtures is a terrible run of form for any club, Thiago Motta’s Spezia will know this and will be hopeful of turning it around. They currently stand fifteenth in the League, with 33 points for a total of 9 wins, 17 losses and 6 draws having won nine games, drawn six meetings, and lost 17 games.

Spezia have won five meetings, drawn three games, and lost seven matches of their 15 League matches at home this season.

Victory for Spezia Calcio would take their points tally to 36 so far this season.

Spezia’s squad will likely be depleted of one of their key players when they start on Friday, due to injury or illness.

Internazionale have so far accrued 66 points in this season of the Serie A

With Inter having secured all three points on their two previous outings, Simone Inzaghi’s men will doubtless be looking to retain their run after this fixture.

Also, Inter keep finding ways to win, having secured 12 victories in their last 19 meetings is astonishing this season, which has contributed significantly to their rise up the table. With a second position in the league and 19 wins, 3 losses and 9 draws, they currently have 66 points in the League having won 19 matches, drawn nine fixtures, and lost three games.

Inter’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Spezia. In the 15 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won eight matches, drawn six fixtures, and lost one game.

Internazionale will have 69 points if they manage to secure a victory.

Good atacking and defensive team

So far, Inter’s defence has been outstanding, as they have conceded 24 goals. Inter have a good scoring record this season, with 65 netted so far (64 from open play and one penalty). This is largely down to the efforts of their stand-out attackers – Edin Dzeko (5), Lautaro Martinez (3), and Nicolo Barella (2).

Inter’s ever growing list of players missing due to injury or illness to be a concern for Simone Inzaghi, ahead of this Friday’s fixture against their opponents.
