Spezia vs US Catanzaro Prediction
Spezia cruised into the driving seat in this tie with their routine first-leg win. The Liguria outfit will be looking to complete the job in front of their fans and have won three of the last four games played at home (one loss). They are the favorites in this game.
Catanzaro have a two-goal deficit to overcome but their away record in the last few weeks does not inspire confidence. Their performance at home was key to their chances of advancing to Serie A for the first time since 1983, but their first-leg loss has left them with a mountain to climb. Nevertheless, their season can be considered a success given that they were playing Serie C football just two years ago.
We are backing the home side to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
