Spezia vs Juventus Match Preview

Spezia is ranked at 15th place in the Italian Serie A table with five points and comes after a win two draws and two losses over the last five matches. They have done pretty well considering they are one of the newly promoted teams, having scored seven goals while they conceded 11. But all their positive results came against teams from the bottom half like Parma, Fiorentina, and Udinese while when they faced Milan and Sassuolo they lost each time.

In these two losses, they conceded seven goals and scored just one. This shows how big of a difference they have in quality with the top teams and having to face Juventus here just makes things worse for them. Also the fact their best striker Galabinov will miss out because of an injury makes me more confident Juventus will dominate.

Juventus, on the other side, is ranked at 6th place with nine points and comes after two wins and three draws over the last five matches in the league. They are one of the few teams that are yet to lose a match and after the setback in the Champions League, they will be hungry for revenge now. The best news will be the return of Cristiano Ronaldo, and despite Pirlo said he might not play from the start, I expect him to enter in the second half at least.

Still, the attack should be composed by Morata-Dybala, backed up by Ramsey and I see more than enough quality in them to cause problems to the poor Spezia defense. Chiellini will not play, but Bonucci is fit so alongside Danilo and Demiral there should not be any problems in defense.

In conclusion, I think Juventus can manage to win here and cover -1.5 goals Asian handicap. They are a team full of quality players when compared to their rivals and I see a lot of doubt over them because of the three draws in five games, but they should bounce back now. Spezia will try to play this game focusing on defense but sooner or later Juventus will score and after that, they will try to secure the three points aiming for more.
