MATCH PREVIEW:
Spezia will look to secure qualification in the first round of the Coppa Italia when they face Pordenone on Friday.
Pordenone picked up only a single win from their 4 pre-season fixtures and were not at their best. They have been leaky in defence and have caused consistent issues for themselves.
A loss to Bologna in their final match on Monday 4-2 did not help their cause as they come into this one winless in their last 2 matches.
The Serie B side have the chance to prove their mettle in this knockout clash and will look to make the most use of it.

On the other hand, Spezia finished 15th in the Serie A last season and will come into this clash as well with a lack of confidence.
But given it’s a new season and challenge, they could be upbeat to make a difference.
Both sides met last in the Serie B in the 2019-20 season where Spezia took the honours 1-0 through Ricci’s second half goal.
Line-ups:
Pordenone:
Perisan, Biondi, Camporese, Barison, Falasco, Misuraca, Magnino, Kupisz, Pellegrini, Cambiaghi, and Tsadjout
Spezia:
Rafael, Vignali, Terzi, Capradossi, Bastoni, Estevez, Agoume, Pobega, Verde, Nzola and Gyasi
Prediction: Pordenone 0-1 Spezia
Spezia should shade this one as they are the better side coming into this clash.
Pordenone will hope to use this chance to repeat a win they got over Spezia in 2019, but with the lack of confidence and poor form; Spezia should take the honours.
