Spezia vs Salernitana prediction and betting tips on May 1, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 36th round of the Italian Serie B, a match will be played between Spezia and Salernitana on May 1, 2025. The hosts are still hoping to achieve direct promotion to the country’s top division, while the visitors face a serious threat of relegation—both sides need nothing less than a win.
Our Prediction for Spezia vs Salernitana
The club from "Alberto Picco" ended their debut spell in Serie A by losing the relegation play-off, the "spareggio," to Verona in 2023. Moreover, they earned 44 points at the lower level, narrowly edging out Ternana in the battle for the safe fifteenth spot. Their current opponent managed to extend their stay in Serie A twice. But a year ago they were relegated, and notably finished in last place beyond doubt.
After dropping down a level, the team still failed to shine. Still, a few springtime victories have left hope for a successful conclusion. Most recently, they beat Cosenza 3-1. The hosts of the arena started the campaign well, but then gradually dropped back due to more frequent setbacks—first against Sassuolo, then Pisa. Even against Frosinone they drew 2-2.
Lapadula and company score about one and a half goals per match. At the same time, they concede twice less—0.79. Pasquale Marino’s charges have a predictably negative ratio—0.97 goals scored to 1.29 conceded.
