Spezia will have been reasonably pleased with their 2-2 draw against Palermo, not least because of the valuable point gained.  During that encounter they had 45% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 7 of their 16 shots on goal.  

When it comes to attacking power Massimiliano Alvini will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped.  They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games.  

They've drawn their last 2 league games at Stadio Alberto Picco, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 5 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.

Any Cosenza pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-0 away defeat by Sampdoria.  They achieved 51% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Sampdoria's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.  

Fabio Caserta will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.  

It's been a mixed run of away form for Cosenza recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games on the road.  

Simone Mazzocchi will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Cosenza.
