Betting Tips
In the event that two teams finish the season with the same number of points. The Italian Serie A introduced additional regulations by adding critical matches for the championship, European positions, and relegation.
For the first time since 2005, a relegation play-off is necessary in Serie A after Spezia and Verona both ended with 31 points. The loser of this match will be relegated, and it will take place at the neutral Mapei Stadium in Sassuolo.
Spezia vs Verona
Almost all of Serie A’s games for this season have concluded. Who will quit the top division and play in Serie B the next year is still a crucial topic, though. Which team will maintain the status concurrently?
Both Spezia and Verona had the same number of points—31—at the end of the regular season. They were below Cremonese and Sampdoria, who are now in Serie B. Both teams suffered defeats in the most recent round against Roma and Milan, the two teams at the top of the standings, but the outcomes of both games were not very noteworthy.
Verona lost 3-1 to Milan in the final round of games despite being just minutes away from escaping; meanwhile, Spezia failed to win against Roma, who were coming off a shootout loss to Sevilla in the Europa League final. Both teams were minutes away from surviving.
Last weekend, both teams came within one goal of clinching their place in the elite class, but they were unfortunate to lose their respective matches against Roma and AC Milan due to late goals conceded. With two wins over Verona this season, Spezia has a stronger head-to-head record thanks to a 1-2 triumph in November of last year’s away game at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi.
Verdict
A spot in the top division of Italian football is on the line in this elimination game, therefore the stakes are extremely high. Goals have often proven hard to come by for both teams lately. We anticipate both managers will take a cautious approach. So far, Spezia has played 38 games and scored 93 goals or nearly 2.5 goals per game. Verona’s games saw 3 fewer goals scored, so their average is marginally lower. The outcome of this crucial match, which is taking place on neutral territory, will be known after 90 minutes plus potentially another 30 minutes.
Players from both teams could be hindered by such pressure. Most likely, one goal would be the winner. We witnessed a scoreless contest in the two sides’ previous matchup. We anticipate a tough battle, and under 2.5 goals seems like a great choice.
Unsurprisingly, none of these teams enters the game in good shape. Spezia has earned one victory in their previous 12 games, while Verona has lost four straight.
Prior to that four-game winless drought, Marco Zaffaroni’s team did manage three victories in six games, and their performance at the San Siro suggests they can edge this draw against Spezia, therefore a victory for Verona is today’s wager.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
