Serie B, SPAL-Ternana: For Oddo, this is already the “final” salvation. Lucarelli with Favilli from 1′?

With the national team stop behind him, he starts again series B with the 31st day, which offers, among other things, an interesting transition to “Paolo Mazza” between SPAL AND Ternana. The hosts, last in the standings, are looking for points to delay relegation to Serie C, which now seems closer; the away side, on the other hand, are aiming for success in order to widen their lead from the Playout zone and, at the same time, move closer to the playoffs for promotion to Serie A.

HOW SPAL APPEARS – One win and two draws in the last ten league games: these numbers are enough to highlight the situation of the deep crisis of the Este team, forced to win again (this will be the second win in a row at home, after 2-1 in Cittadella on March 5 last year) to keep hope alive stay in this category. Coach Massimo Oddo, expected today from the first of eight “finals”, will not have Valsania, Wargnier and Arena at his disposal, while Nainggolan will find him, even if the Belgian is not 100% in shape. In terms of a likely line-up, we are moving towards a 4-3-3 formation with Fetfatzidis, Maistro and La Mantia in the advanced squad.

HOW TO GET TERNANA – Ten consecutive away games without a win (four draws and six defeats) for the Rossoverdi, who have not rejoiced far from Liberati even since October 15, 2022, when goals from Sørensen, Pettinari and Di Taccio crossed out a double opening advantage for Bevento: to try to reverse this negative trend away from home, there will be the support of Fere fans, who are massively present in the away sector (1076 tickets sold). Cristiano Lucarelli’s team, currently eleventh in the standings (-3 from the playoffs, +6 from playouts), will try to continue the last success obtained against Bari to put the rescue (almost) in a safe: in the starting eleventh, positioning with 3-5-1-1, Faville could be here as a mainstay in attack.
