Spal-Pisa is a Serie B Week 19 match played on Monday at 15:00: odds, predictions, TV and streaming.

Outside draw and home win. It does not contradict the Pisa of Luca D’Angelo, which proceeds at this pace even from ten days. Inside their home walls, since last October, the Nerazzurri don’t give anyone a chance. And with the 17 points won at the Arena Garibaldi can boast the third best home performance, second only to Frosinone and Reggina.

The success instead continues to be lacking away from Tuscany. The last one was about three months ago, when a brace from striker Gliozzi and a goal from midfielder Touré castigated Perugia and allowed the Abruzzo coach to make his debut with a victory after being recalled to replace Rolando Maran. A choice, that of changing technical guide, which turned out to be the right one: Pisa has not lost a match since then, has abandoned the anonymous positions in the standings, has rediscovered the game, identity and enthusiasm, and today is again in the playoff zone, not too far from second place – Reggina is seven points away – which would mean direct promotion. A week ago, in addition to Pisa – which overwhelmed Brescia 3-0, favouring the exoneration of Spanish coach Clotet – Daniele De Rossi’s Spal also rejoiced, breaking a seven-day winless streak.

After the draws against Perugia and Palermo, the Ferrara team brought home three important points from the away match in Parma. The cover man of the derby with the ducali was centre forward Rabbi, author of the goal that decided a challenge that could relaunch the Estensi’s ambitions, now again out of the playout zone.

Spal-Pisa: latest line-up news

De Rossi must give up two starters like Esposito and Dalle Mura, both disqualified and absent against Pisa. One of Zanellato and Murgia will be in charge, while Varnier should play in place of the Fiorentina winger. In front is a ballot between Rabbi and La Mantia. Celia will recover but will start from the bench.

La Mantia

The Pisa goal will probably be defended again by Livieri, although Nicolas has now recovered. Beruatto will be back in defence. D’Angelo thinks to repropose the tandem Gliozzi-Torregrossa, who did so well against Brescia.

The prediction

Following Pisa’s performance over the last couple of months in the Ferrara away match, a draw should arrive, a hypothesis that is anything but remote, given that De Rossi has managed to give balance to Spal, fresh from an important victory in the derby against Parma. Staying away from the result, we foresee a challenge with few goals, also considering that Spal has cashed only one goal in the last three games and Pisa has barely scored one in the three most recent away matches against Cagliari, Bari and Frosinone.

The probable formations of Spal-Pisa

• SPAL (3-4-2-1): Alfonso; Peda, Varnier, Meccariello; Dickmann, Murgia, Zanellato, Tripaldelli; Valzania, Maistro; La Mantia.
• PISA (4-3-1-2): Livieri; Calabresi, Hermannsson, Barba, Beruatto; Tourè, Nagy, Marin; Tramoni; Gliozzi, Torregrossa.

POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-1
