SPAL is a team that likes to play in their midfield, with the aim of trying to surprise their opponent through the counterattack. When it invests in the offensive process, it usually does it through the right flank, in order to take advantage of the depth offered by the Lazzari side. For this match the home technician will not be able to count on Fabio Della Giovanna and Meret, injured.
