Fiorentina, Recent FormFiorentina will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their away outing against Inter Milan. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Inter Milan, who had 16 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Vincenzo Italiano will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 10 goals. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at Stadio Artemio Franchi recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Italiano of late, his defence having only notched up 1 clean sheet from their last 6 home games.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are unbeaten home or away in their last 6 league games.
Goalscorer Arthur Cabral will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Fiorentina.
Spezia, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Salernitana in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Spezia last time out. In that game they recorded 51 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 12 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They have shown some defensive frailties on the road of late, having given away at least 1 goal in 12 of their past 13 away league matches, making points very hard to come by.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
With 5 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Spezia, M'Bala Nzola will be looking to add more goals against Fiorentina in this match.
Fiorentina recorded a 1-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
The Spezia defence has struggled against Fiorentina in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Stadio Artemio Franchi, Spezia have been unable to break through the Fiorentina defence and find the back of the net.
Fiorentina will be looking to continue their winning streak against Spezia having won in their last 4 meetings in the league.
Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Alfred Duncan (Physical discomfort), Luka Jović (Virus) and Salvatore Sirigu (Achilles tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Spezia manager Leonardo Semplici ahead of this clash, with João Moutinho (Muscle) missing out, which gives Semplici a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
