Spezia host Vado at Stadio Alberto Picco on November 15 in the 14th round of Serie C: Girone B, with kick-off set for 13:30 local time. The league leaders have taken 11 wins and two draws from their first 13 matches and remain unbeaten, while 13th-placed Vado arrive having scored in each of their last five league games. Spezia won the teams’ most recent meeting 3-0 in September, but their list of absentees and Vado’s recent scoring form give this fixture more than one point of interest.

Spezia’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Spezia have set the pace in Serie C: Girone B with 11 wins, two draws and no defeats. They have scored 25 league goals and conceded only six, combining a consistent attack with the division form that has taken them to first place. Their latest result was a 4-0 win away to Ostia Mare Lidocalcio on November 7.

Across their last five matches, Spezia have recorded four wins and a draw, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 0.6 conceded. Their broader run is also notable: they have not lost in 18 matches and have scored at least once in each of their last 20. Within Serie C: Girone B, that scoring sequence stands at 13 consecutive games.

Early leads have been a feature of Spezia’s recent league performances. They have been ahead at half-time in their last three Serie C: Girone B matches and in their last four home games in the competition. They have also led at the interval in six of their last ten matches overall. That does not settle how this meeting will unfold, but it underlines the challenge facing a Vado side trying to keep the leaders within reach.

Spezia do, however, have several absences to manage. Mateju is injured, while Oyono, Cardinali and Cannavò are on international duty. Capolupo, Florenzi, Limonelli and Kalaj are also unavailable. Those missing options provide a contrast to Spezia’s otherwise strong run of results.

Vado’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Vado sit 13th with four wins, four draws and five defeats from their first 13 league fixtures. They have scored 15 goals and conceded 16. Their last five matches have brought two victories, two draws and one loss, with averages of 1.8 goals scored and 1.6 conceded per game. Most recently, they lost 3-1 at home to Ravenna on November 7.

The defeat to Ravenna followed draws against Sambenedettese and Grosseto and a 2-1 away win over Ostia. Vado have found the net in their last five league matches, while four of their last five games have featured at least three goals in total. Cernigoi has scored four times across that five-match stretch, although his availability must be checked after he suffered a physical problem against Ravenna.

There are further personnel concerns for the visitors. Di Munno is unavailable and Hamlili is a major doubt. Coach Giancarlo Riolfo is suspended for one match, so assistant Paolo Pantera will take his place. Vado have also lost three of their last six away fixtures across all competitions, a record they will hope to improve against the unbeaten leaders.

Spezia vs Vado Match Analysis

The contrast is clear: Spezia have conceded just six league goals, while Vado have scored in five successive league outings. The visitors’ recent matches have often produced goals, but Spezia’s unbeaten record and four wins in their last five provide the stronger form line. Their tendency to lead at half-time adds another measure of how difficult they have been to contain.

The sides last met on September 2 in the Coppa Italia Serie C, when Spezia won 3-0 at home. That match was goalless at half-time before Spedalieri, Mazzocchi and Florenzi scored after the 69th minute. It is the only meeting in the supplied head-to-head record, so it offers a useful reference without defining the outcome of this league game.

Vado’s recent scoring streak gives them a route into the contest, particularly if they can make their chances count against a Spezia side missing several players. Even so, the hosts’ 11 victories in 13 league matches, six goals conceded and continuing unbeaten run make them the stronger choice on the available evidence.
