Bologna vs Spezia tips and predictions

Odds stand out for home side

With 5 points between them, it's 12th placed Bologna versus 15th placed Spezia in this Serie A clash.

What happens here is anyone's guess. The inclination is towards the home win but if they don't command respect early then who knows. On paper at least, they can win this.

Time will tell if it's relevant but Bologna might have reasons to be confident about adding to Spezia's recent defeats. The visitors are short of form away from home; they've suffered 8 losses from their last 10 away assignments. This might not be suitable preparation.

This home squad is enjoying some form. I Rossoblu have scored at least once in 15 of their recent 16 home matches while keeping alert at the back. In defence, they have conceded no more than once in 11 of their last 12 home games.

Spezia have actually conceded two or more goals in 12 of their last 20 matches. It might not be great form ahead of this match.

Bologna have won 3 of the last 4 fixtures between these sides.

It's possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side starts the match more brightly. Each of the two sides has reasons for confidence and it might be a match with scoring chances at both ends. It might not be the obvious suggestion but the Yes BTTS bet is a cautious side bet for this particular game.
