Spezia clearly outperforms Virtus Entella in the context of home versus away matches. The hosts have a 27% win rate at home and a goal difference of -5, while the visitors have not won any away match this season (0% Win%) and possess a very poor -14 goal difference. Virtus Entella fails to score in 55% of their away matches, which, combined with an average of just 0.55 goals per away game, puts them in a very difficult position. Spezia has averaged 1.2 points per game in their last five overall matches, which is better than Virtus Entella's 1.0. The away form of the visitors is disastrous with a draw-loss-loss-loss-loss-draw streak in their last six matches. Considering all these factors, Spezia has a real chance to win in front of their home crowd, although their own form is not ideal, which leaves room for a draw.
