Carrarese (Home)
- Carrarese have won six of their 16 home games this term, but they can take solace from Spezia’s poor record on the road.
- Carrarese have won their last two games in a row to hit their stride, following up a 2-0 home win over Sampdoria with a 3-0 away win at Bari.
- Carrarese come into this game on the back of two victories and have been more solid than most in Serie B this season, sitting ninth in the standings after taking 39 points from their 32 games - a fine result for a club that was promoted to the second tier for the first time in 23 years.
Spezia (Away)
- Spezia arrive in Carrarese on Monday facing a relegation battle after accumulating just 30 points from their first 32 Serie B contests of 2025-2026.
- Luca D’Angelo took over the club in March 2026 and has fostered a more positive, possession-based and high-pressing gameplan than the one that was in place before his appointment, but the results have not always flowed.
- The Ligurians have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five games and they haven’t won any of their last three away from home.
- They have conceded 1.56 goals per game on average in 16 away games, winning three, drawing four and losing nine.
Head-to-Head
Spezia have won two of the last three meetings, but Carrarese won 2-0 away in Serie B seven months ago.
Key Players
- Midfielder Luca Palmieri has been in the thick of the action, controlling the tempo and helping to release Carrarese’s pacey wide players in transition.
- Gabriele Artistico is in a rich vein of form for Spezia with 11 goals in Serie B this term and four in their last eight league games, but Andrea Cassata’s ability to link play has been the creative spark that has kept him in the goals.
- A solid defensive structure and a striker that gets a regular goal return in Fabio Abiuso (10 in 30 Serie B apps) will give them a good chance to hold out.
Betting Insights
- Backing Carrarese to win at home seems like a good choice at around even odds as they have looked in good form in recent weeks and Spezia have failed to win in their last three away games.
- Carrarese have kept clean sheets in their last two games, which might not be the case here, but both teams to score - No is at 1.85.
