SPAL vs Chievo Predictions

Two of the bottom five in Serie A go head to head on Sunday, as Chievo head to SPAL. The league’s bottom side make this trip without a win all season, but can they change that? They’ll be eying up games like this hoping to finally put three points on the board. They’re sitting a full 10 points off safety as we approach the half-way point of the campaign, so the Gialloblu need to start turning things around. Will they be able to pull off a victory in this weekend’s trip, or can SPAL fix their form?

The hosts are on a winless run of their own – although it can’t quite match Chievo’s. The hosts have failed to win in seven matches. They’ve claimed one win in their last 12 outings in all competitions, which has pushed them towards the drop zone. With only four points between them and danger, this run could push SPAL into serious danger. Hosting the worst side in the league is the perfect chance to turn things around, but can they get out of this rut?

The visitors have shown signs of life recently, picking up four draws on the spin in the league to move onto three points. They’ve still got a long way to go before they can move to safety anytime soon, and it seems like relegation is becoming the expectation for the Gialloblu after a torrid campaign. They are making their matches a little closer, but can they pose a threat to a SPAL side who are 12 points clear of them in the table?

It’s hard to pick a winner between two sides who have been in awful form for the last few weeks. Neither same capable of keeping a clean sheet this season – SPAL have conceded in 73% of their games, while Chievo have kept a clean sheet in 13% of theirs. The hosts have managed to win just twice at home this season, with none of those victories coming in their last five at this ground.

Meanwhile, Chievo have started building up some steam in recent weeks with their draws. After securing four on the bounce, we are backing the visitors to get a point here. They pulled off a draw in this fixture back in April, so we think the value between these two out of shape sides is to back the draw.
