Clean Sheets in Last 5 Matches
Recent defensive records for Spezia and Vis Pesaro are shown below.
Spezia have taken 13 points from five league matches, winning four after opening with a draw, while Vis Pesaro have collected one point and conceded 12 goals in the same number of games.
This is also their first meeting, so there is no useful head-to-head history to lean on. The more relevant comparison is between a Spezia side conceding very little and a Vis Pesaro team repeatedly allowing opponents to turn matches against them.
Spezia are giving opponents very little
The foundation of Spezia's start is straightforward: nine league goals scored and only two conceded. Marco Turati's side have won four Serie C games in succession, with Campobasso, Livorno and Perugia all beaten without scoring.
Their latest result, a 3-0 win away to Perugia, followed a 2-0 home victory over Livorno. Spezia therefore arrive having combined attacking improvement with considerable defensive control rather than relying on narrow wins alone.
That pattern extends beyond the league. Across the seven listed matches in all competitions, they have scored 16 goals and conceded only three, while producing four clean sheets. Their 84 shots, an average of 12 per match, have also brought 16 goals. There is substance behind the results.
Their home record strengthens the picture. Four listed matches at the Alberto Picco have produced four victories and a combined 10-1 scoreline. Spezia have not merely protected home advantage; they have generally controlled the scoreboard comfortably.
Vis Pesaro's problem is at both ends
Vis Pesaro's sequence is almost the reverse. Their five league matches have brought no wins, one draw and four defeats, with five goals scored and 12 conceded.
The more concerning detail is how quickly the defensive damage has accumulated. Ostia Mare won 2-1, Forlì did the same and Reggiana then scored four. Add the 5-0 cup defeat at Gubbio and Vis Pesaro have conceded at least twice in four consecutive matches across competitions.
Denis Tonucci's continued suspension removes an experienced defender from that equation. It would be too simple to attribute the entire problem to one absence, particularly because the wider run predates it, but his unavailability hardly helps a side already struggling to contain opponents.
There is a further warning in Vis Pesaro's away numbers. Their two Serie C trips have ended in defeats at Pescara and Forlì, producing only one goal. Across their last 12 league matches stretching beyond this season, they have recorded only one victory.
Similar activity, very different outcomes
Curiously, the gap between these teams is not reflected everywhere. Spezia average 102.57 attacks per match and Vis Pesaro 97.29, while their dangerous-attack averages are even closer at 56.57 and 55.57.
That makes the contrast in results more revealing. Vis Pesaro are reaching attacking areas often enough to suggest they are not simply spending entire matches pinned back, yet seven goals from 62 shots across seven games sits alongside 18 conceded. Activity has not translated into comparable efficiency or control.
Spezia's passing figures tell a cleaner story. Their 85% completion rate is markedly higher than Vis Pesaro's 57%, despite Vis Pesaro attempting more passes overall. Quantity, again, is not the same as effectiveness.
For Spezia, the challenge is avoiding the complacency Turati warned against after the Perugia victory. Everything else points towards a side whose balance has been considerably stronger than their visitors': more goals, fewer concessions, cleaner home results and far greater defensive reliability.

🎯 Pick 1: Spezia to win @ 1/5
Spezia enter this encounter backed by four consecutive Serie C victories and a total of 13 points from five league outings. Marco Turati’s side have established clear dominance at Stadio Alberto Picco, winning all four home fixtures listed this season by a cumulative margin of 10 goals scored to one conceded. That robust output at both ends of the pitch is underlined by an overall return of 16 goals scored and merely three conceded across seven matches in all competitions.
Vis Pesaro, by contrast, travel having accumulated a single point from five league matches while conceding 12 goals. The visitors have conceded at least twice in each of their last four outings across competitions, including away defeats at Pescara and Forlì. While Vis Pesaro register comparable attacking activity, averaging 97.29 attacks to Spezia’s 102.57, their passing accuracy stands at just 57% compared to Spezia’s 85%. This difference in execution allows Spezia to control matches far more effectively than their visitors, who struggle to convert build-up play into secure results.
The main risk stems from potential complacency, which Turati highlighted following Spezia’s 3-0 win against Perugia, alongside Vis Pesaro matching Spezia with 55.57 dangerous attacks per match. However, with Vis Pesaro managing just one victory in their last 12 league games stretching back into last season and missing suspended defender Denis Tonucci, Spezia’s superior passing execution and defensive control provide ample foundation for a straightforward home victory.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Spezia have won all four home matches listed this season, outscoring opponents 10-1.
- Spezia have conceded only two goals in five Serie C matches; Vis Pesaro have conceded 12.
- Spezia complete 85% of their passes, compared to Vis Pesaro's 57%, aiding match control.
Risk Factor: Any early defensive lapse or complacency from Spezia could allow Vis Pesaro to disrupt their game plan and hold for a draw.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Completing 85% of passes and taking 13 points from five league matches while conceding only twice.
Conceded 12 league goals in five matches and at least twice in four consecutive games across competitions.
⚔️ Pick 2: Spezia vs Vis Pesaro 2-0 @ 4/1
A 2-0 victory for Spezia aligns directly with the defensive stability and controlled attack displayed by the hosts at Stadio Alberto Picco. Spezia have kept clean sheets in three of their last four league fixtures, defeating Livorno 2-0 at home before securing a 3-0 win away at Perugia. Across five league matches, Spezia have conceded only two goals, demonstrating an ability to restrict high-percentage scoring opportunities. Their home record of four wins from four matches with 10 goals scored reinforces their capacity to find the net multiple times without overextending at the back.
Conversely, Vis Pesaro have struggled to make an impact on the road, generating just one goal across their two Serie C away trips to Pescara and Forlì. Although the visitors generate 55.57 dangerous attacks per match, their total return of seven goals from 62 shots across seven fixtures reflects lower conversion than Spezia, who have scored 16 goals from 84 attempts. Furthermore, Vis Pesaro have conceded 12 goals in five league games and suffered a 5-0 defeat at Gubbio, showing sustained defensive vulnerability, which is further tested by Denis Tonucci’s suspension.
The primary threat to a 2-0 scoreline is an isolated goal from Vis Pesaro or a late third strike from a Spezia side averaging over two goals per home game. Nevertheless, Spezia’s recent 2-0 victory over Livorno and their clean-sheet record across four of their last seven outings make this exact scoreline a highly plausible outcome.
Risk Factor: An unexpected Vis Pesaro goal or extra Spezia goal beyond two would defeat this exact-score selection.
