Top Two Tips for Spezia vs Fiorentina
Fiorentina have a good record against Spezia but just 1pt separates the two clubs in the Serie A table and the pair lock horns on Sunday at the Stadio Alberto Picco in La Spezia. Neither side can claim to have made a good start to the season but more was expected of Fiorentina who have found wins hard to come by.
Both Teams to Score
We're expecting an action-packed 90-minutes between two teams that struggle to keep clean sheets. Both teams have scored in two of the last three meetings between Spezia and Fiorentina, while three of the host's last six outings in all competitions have produced goals at both ends of the pitch and the same can be said for each of Fiorentina's last three matches.
Over 2.5 Goals
These two teams have only met four times before and on each of those occasions, over 2.5 goals have been scored. Both teams have been involved in high-scoring games of late with four of Spezia's and four of Fiorentina's last six outings in league and cup witnessing at least three goals being scored, which only adds further weight to our prediction.

Spezia will leapfrog Firoentina with a win
Spezia were away from home last weekend against Salernitana for what turned out to be a very close and competitive 90-minutes. The first forty-five ended goalless but it only took 3-minutes following the restart for the deadlock to be broken. Mazzocchi fired Salernitana in front with what turned out to be the only goal of the game as Spezia slipped to yet another defeat on the road.
Spezia Predicted Lineup – Drągowski, Nikolaou, Amian, Ampadu, Kiwior, Holm, Ekdal, Bourabia, Agudelo, Nzola & Gyasi
Despite having the home advantage, Fiorentina would have been expecting a difficult 90-minutes against Inter Milan. The pair produced one of the games of the season in which seven goals were scored but Fiorentina failed to take the lead at any point during the 90-minutes. Inter scored twice in the opening 15-minutes but a penalty from Cabral made the scoreline 2-1 at the break. Ikone got the hosts back onto level terms on the hour mark but Inter moved back in front with a penalty of their own. Fiorentina must have thought they had done enough to earn a point when Jovic made it 3-3 in the 90th-minute only for Inter to snatch all 3pts deep into stoppage time through a Mkhitaryan effort.
Fiorentina Predicted Lineup – Terracciano, Biraghi, Martínez, Dodô, Milenković, Bonaventura, Duncan, Amrabat, Cabral, Kouamé & González
