Kvaratskhelia
Finally, Napoli has Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is having a spectacular season. The player is the team's second-leading scorer in the league with seven goals, and has accumulated gala performances. Thus, alongside Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia is the team's hope for goals, and also a good guess for a player to score at any time in the match.
RETROSPECT:
According to data from the OGol website, the teams have only met 10 times, between the Italian Championship, Serie B and the Italian Cup. In this sense, Napoli has the numbers in their favor, since they have won eight times against Spezia twice. Moreover, the Azzurri have scored far more goals, 23 for and nine against.
SPEZIA:
As well as occupying only the 17th position, Spezia has 18 points, and is five points ahead of the first team inside the relegation zone. In this sense, they have three losses in a row, to Bologna and Roma (2-0), and to Atalanta (5-2) in the Italian Cup.
Spezia is in 17th place with 18 points. Five points ahead of Hellas Verona, the first team in the relegation zone. The situation within the squad is not very good, because the team has been suffering with absences during the season, and some important names, such as the Portuguese João Moutinho.
NAPOLI:
Napoli is the sole leader with 53 points, 13 ahead of the second-placed team, and saw the gap get even bigger in the last few rounds. That's because they beat Roma by 2-1, after having beaten Salernitana away from home by 2-0. Before that, they were eliminated by Cremonese on penalties in the round of 16 of the Italian Cup.
In short, the match pits teams from the opposite sides of the table against each other. This is because Napoli is the sole leader and fighting to be champions, while Spezia is trying not to fall. Therefore, we can say that the Azzurri are the favorites to win.
