Spezia vs Fiorentina Predictions and Betting Tips
Spezia look to continue their good form in the Italian Serie A on Monday night as they host Fiorentina. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
A Dusan Vlahovic hattrick made sure of all three points when both sides went a each other in the reverse match back in October. Would we see the Florence-based side do the double against their opponents ?
Spezia looking to stretch unbeaten run
A healthy five points separate Spezia from the drop-zone and rightfully so taking into account their recent performances. They didn't get off on the best note in their first game of the new year, losing to Hellas Verona on home soil. Thiago Motta's troops have been different beasts since then, however, with three wins and a draw since then. Two brilliant free-kicks wasn't enough to secure all three points last weekend in their game against rock-bottom side Salernitana, however, confidence would still be on a high for them as they prepare for Fiorentina's challenge.
It hasn't been easy for Fiorentina given the loss of Serbian forward Dusan Vlahovic to Juventus during the January transfer window. The striker wasn't needed last Thursday, however, with his replacement- a certain Krzysztof Piątek- netting twice in their Coppa Italia quarterfinals clash away at Atalanta. They haven't particularly been in good form in the Italian top-flight with just one win in their last five league matches, nonetheless, we expect that Coppa Italia triumphs to do a lot to the team spirit. The question is, would they turn it into a much-needed win in the Serie A this coming Monday ?

Spezia vs Fiorentina Prediction: 2-2
Fiorentina might have more quality players heading into this, however, they don't have the momentum he hosts have and this should bode well for Thiago Motta's troops. As such, we would be sitting on the fence for this one with both sides settling for a point each in an entertaining draw.
