Cosenza vs Spezia tips and predictions

Well-fought Serie B battle should be a tight affair

There's not much between Cosenza and Spezia in the Serie B. The hosts are in 11th place with 45 points, compared to their opponents who are in 15th place on 40 points.

Arguments can be made for both sides and whatever happens it won't be a surprise to see them cancel each other out. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Establishing something of a fortress against recent opposition, Cosenza have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches. Meanwhile Spezia haven't let in a single goal throughout their most recent 3 matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 2 of the last 3 have finished on level terms.

It would be incorrect to imply that the favourites are a dead-cert here. Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out over an attritional ninety minutes. It's not the best value from today's fixtures but the No BTTS bet could be sensible. And for fans of the goal line, it's no more than one goal in this match considering the odds that are available.

Cosenza have drawn 8 of their last 20 matches. Also Spezia have drawn 8 of their last 15 matches on the road and while any draw is the pick, a scoreline of 0-0 might be a good shout here. The feeling is it will be a low-scoring affair but without enough reasons to justify a home or away win in the match odds, the pick has to be with the value offered up by the draw price.
