Udinese vs Spezia: Football Whispers' Predictions
Udinese don't have much left to play for this season but could still finish as high as 10th if they secure positive results from their final two games of the season. Spezia could still get relegated from Serie A but as little as a draw on Saturday would be enough to keep them in Italy's top division for another season.

Udinese to Win
Udinese have won their last two head-to-heads with Spezia, including a 1-0 away win when the pair locked horns back in September. The hosts have secured two wins, two draws and two defeats from their last six outings while Spezia have lost each of their last four league games, so you can see just why we're backing a home win this weekend.
Over 2.5 Goals
There is a good chance that we will be treated to plenty of goalmouth action on Saturday if both teams' recent results are anything to go by. Four of Udinese's last six league games have produced over 2.5 goals, including 4-0 and 4-1 wins against Fiorentina and Empoli, while each of Spezia's last four matches have also witnessed at least three goals scored, including a 4-3 defeat at home to Lazio.

A win would keep Spezia in Serie A for another season
Udinese made the trip to Sassuolo last time out where an early goal from Scamacca put the home side in front. Udinese trailed at the break but always remained in the game throughout and eventually got back onto level terms via a 77th-minute effort from Nuytinck which made the final scoreline 1-1. That result puts Udinese in 12th-place heading into the final two league games of the campaign, well away from the relegation battle and in with a chance of a top-ten finish.
Udinese Predicted Lineup: Silvestri, Marí, Becão, Molina, Pérez, Udogie, Pereyra, Pussetto, Walace, Makengo & Deulofeu
Spezia would have been hoping to make the most of their home advantage against Atalanta but fell behind in the 16th-minute to a goal from Muriel. Verde did get Spezia back on level terms on the half-hour mark but second-half goals from Djimsiti and Pasalic ensured that the points went back with Atalanta.
Spezia Predicted Lineup: Provedel, Nikolaou, Manaj, Amian, Erlić, Hristov, Kiwior, Maggiore, Agudelo, Gyasi & Verde
