Spezia vs Chievo Predictions

• 14 of Chievo’s last 15 away games have produced fewer than three goals.
• Five of Spezia’s last six matches have produced fewer than three goals.
• Chievo have only conceded more than once in two of their last 15 road trips.
• Spezia have won six of their last nine at home.

A slow start from Spezia on Saturday saw their dreams of promotion to Serie A take a massive blow as they lost 2-0 in the first leg of their Serie B playoff semi-final, conceding both goals in the opening ten minutes and giving themselves a mountain to climb.

They have now won just one of their last five games and they have only won by two goals or more once in their last nine outings, and they could find it tough to reverse the deficit against an in-form Chievo outfit.

The visitors are unbeaten in five games and have conceded just two goals in this period. They conceded an average of 1.05 goals per game during the course of the regular season, so they’re more than capable of keeping it tight at the back.

With a 2-0 lead Chievo are likely to sit back and protect their advantage, and that points towards a low scoring affair on Tuesday. Eight of their last ten games, as well as 14 of their last 15 on the road, have produced fewer than three goals, and we’re predicting more of the same here.

Spezia have seen fewer than three goals in  five of their last six fixtures, so backing under 2.5 goals looks the way to go. We do expect Spezia – who have won six of their last nine at home – to reduce the deficit against a Chievo side that have won only two of their last 15 road trips. However, with Chievo only conceding more than once on the road in two of these 15 games a 1-0 correct score prediction offers the best value.
