Spezia are eight points above the relegation zone going into the match this weekend. Thiago Motta’s team is on a five-match unbeaten streak and are one of Serie A’s in-form teams.

Fiorentina took six points from the last 18 points available in the division. They were outscored 11-10 by their last six opponents in the league. Just one of Fiorentina’s last six games in Serie A finished as a win. Three were draws.
La Viola won 3-0 earlier this season in the reverse fixture against Spezia. Dusan Vlahovic, who was sold for £73 million to Juventus in January, scored a hat-trick for Fiorentina.

Motta could have the midfield duo of Aimar Sher and Simone Bastoni back from injuries. Daniele Verde leads the team in goals with five.
Fiorentina’s Luca Torreira and Giacomo Bonaventura are both ruled out of the match due to suspension. With Vlahovic now gone, the team’s leading scorer is Cristiano Biraghi with four. Coach Vincenzo Italiano needs to find goals from somewhere if Fiorentina are going to qualify for Europe in the league.
La Viola are unbeaten in three straight games versus Spezia in Serie A. The teams’ last two matches finished as wins. Fiorentina should claim a third straight win over Spezia with over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the back of the net.
