Spezia is only two points clear of the relegation zone and needs to get back on track against a Verona side who are in a terrible run of form. Read our reasons for Verona vs Spezia prediction and betting tips.
Hellas seem to have lost their way lately, suffering four consecutive defeats and dropping down to 10th place. They’ve lost seven of their last eight games, interrupted only by a 2-0 win away to Cagliari. Hellas Verona coach Ivan Juric drops hints about his future and maintained Inter boss Antonio Conte is ‘the best along with Gian Piero Gasperini.’ “I always said Inter had the strongest squad in Serie A this season, and Conte is the best coach along with Gasp,” said Juric in his press conference. “Conte is the most complete coach, the toughest, one who never gives in. He found the way to win this year and I am not surprised, because over the two years he has kept the best players and signed those he thought were missing. I’ve already said, as a coach you have clear ideas, but the players are the ones who take to the pitch. All a coach can do is know what he’s got at his disposal and fight to get it. There is no other way.”
Juric has again taken Hellas Verona to the top 10 despite a mediocre budget, but he’s far from satisfied. “In several games, the team stepped up by dominating, but also became losers, because we keep saying we should’ve been 2-0 up after 30 minutes. That means we aren’t as effective as we were in the past. We sold players and did not replace them with the same consistency in midfield and defense. We have brought in some good forwards, like Kevin Lasagna, but he needs to hold up the ball and play for the team more.”
Juric has hinted several times he could leave Verona but seems increasing to be focused on the future at the Bentegodi. “I’ve never been out of this club. Nothing has changed. Maybe I talk too much and people think too much. We’ll sit down and talk about it. If we reach an agreement, good, otherwise we’ll find a solution. I think we need to reinforce a great deal, then the club will decide if we can or not. I never had problems with the President, we can never be Parma or Bologna, and he never hid the way things have to be run here. He needs to have faith in his coach and director of sport because football is a calculated risk.”

Spezia picked up one point from their last three and are just two points clear of the drop zone, with Cagliari, Benevento, and Torino all ready to drag them back into danger. Vincenzo Italiano saw a lack of consistency and experience in Spezia during their 2-0 defeat to Genoa. ‘Staying in Serie A for another season would resolve many issues.’ The team held Inter to a 1-1 draw in midweek, yet fell 2-0 at Marassi in this relegation dogfight. “One of our problems at the moment is that we are inconsistent, we can’t maintain the same concentration we saw against Inter just a few days ago,” Italiano told the media. “It’s difficult, because if we don’t have the right determination and aggression for a game like this, naturally we’re going to struggle against a team that is already stronger. It would be fundamental for Spezia to stay in the top flight, to get used to the tempo and level, to increase their experience. I recognize some of the errors, as they are what I did in my first years as a Serie A player. I am convinced that staying in Serie A for another season would resolve many of these issues and give us the belief that we belong here.”
This was the sixth consecutive away defeat for Spezia, who have struggled outside the Stadio Picco. “We had three or four chances that could’ve been dealt with differently today. If you don’t take your chances, and concede a goal cheaply, it becomes tricky. We knew from the start that Spezia would go down to the wire for a place in Serie A and we’ve always been prepared for that eventuality.”
Spezia (4-3-3): Provedel; Vignali, Ismajli, Erlic, S Bastoni; Maggiore, Sena, Pobega; Verde, Nzola, Gyasi
Suspended: None

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
