Serie A - Home to Spezia  Bologna


The 20th round of the 2022/23 Serie A season will take the lead in the battle tomorrow. Bologna will sit at home against Spezia and hope to rely on home court advantage to take all 3 points and continue to move towards the top 10 in the standings.


Bologna had previously lost 0-1 away to Lazio in the Coppa Italia and was eliminated. In last week's Serie A home game, it relied on the opponent's "contribution" own goal to draw 1-1 with Cremona. Bologna is currently ranked 12th in the Serie A standings with 23 points. In this campaign, they only need to beat Spezia to temporarily rise to the top 10.


In addition, Spezia has only achieved 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 5 rounds of the league, including being eliminated by losing 2-5 to Atlanta in last week's Coppa Italia. Lost to Rome, the recent state has shown signs of instability. In this campaign, when encountering Bologna who is looking to grab points, Spezia is bound to take all 3 points to return to victory.


Salernitana hopes to return to winning ways


Looking back at the past records, the two sides have played against each other 7 times in Serie A. Bologna has the advantage of 4 wins and 3 draws, including a complete victory at home. In the first round of this season, Bologna, who played away, shook hands with Spezia 2-2.


As for the lineup, Bologna has Bonifacci, Arnautovic, Medel, De Silvestri, Bagnolini and Sansuo due to internal injuries. Spezia has Zuter, Bastoni and striker Enzola still recovering from injuries.


In other games, Lecce, currently ranked 14th in the standings, will face 16th-placed Salernitana at home. Since Salernitana has only scored 1 draw and 4 losses in the past 5 rounds, it is natural to hope to get all 3 points in this campaign to return to victory.
