We have three Serie A games across Saturday and the first of those is this clash between Empoli and Spezia, two sides in the bottom half of the table.
Empoli Form GuideEmpoli have done a great job of picking up points, even though they haven't been winning too often. Just six wins on the year, but plenty of draws, has them in 12th position going into the games this weekend.
In their last six games, they have lost just once, while they've picked up two wins and three draws, as they continue to push for mid-table.
The loss they've suffered was in their most recent game, a clash with Roma last weekend, which they ultimately lost 2-0. But Roma are playing well and up in third, so that's not a bad result. Prior to that, they've shown they can beat the big boys by winning against Inter Milan three weeks ago.
Spezia Form GuideSpezia are edging closer to the relegation zone after a poor run over the past few weeks. They've won just four games all season, and sit one place above the drop, just four points clear or Verona who are chasing them down.
Recently, it's not been good for Spezia. Not only have they lost their last three league games, but to make things worse, they haven't even scored a goal in those games, a big worry right now.
Going back to mid-January, they did pick up a great 1-0 win away at Torino, and need to try and rediscover that form moving forward.
Match PredictionGiven the form that both of these teams are in, we are siding with Empoli as the pick to win here. Yes, they don't win too many games, but Spezia are struggling right now, losing three in a row. With that in mind, Empoli can continue their push to mid-table by taking three points here.
