LiontipsSpezia vs Fiorentina. Prediction and Betting Tips for Serie A (February 14, 2022).
Command Analysis
Spezia played a very attractive brand of football last season and won over a lot of fans. ButThiago Motta's side were off to a bad start in the 2021-2022 edition of Serie A and spent most of the season in the relegation zone.
Recently, the Little Eagles have seriously improved their performance and delivered successful results in four matches in a row. At the moment, the hosts are in 15th place in the standings with a total of 26 points, six points ahead of the 18th Cagliari.
Last weekend, Spezia recorded a high-scoring draw against Salernitana (2:2).
Fiorentina invited Vincenzo Italiano to the position of head coach following his success at Spezia in 2020-2021 campaign. The Violets have a powerful squad and are intent to get European football this season. However, the competition for the top-6 finish is intense.
Currently the visitors are in 8th position in the log with 36 points to their name. They are losing six points for the 6th Lazio, but have two games in hand. In theory, the Violets can even compete for a Champions League berth, but with opponents like Atalanta and Juventus it will be extremely hard.
In their last outing, Fiorentina beat Atalanta 3:2 in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals and advanced to the next round of the tournament.

Tip and bets
Spezia haven't lost since January 6. They have earned 10 points in the last 4 games and reached the 15th line of the standings. As impressive as those results are, we doubt that the hosts can upset Fiorentina. The Violets realize that they can't lose points to such opponents if they want to get European football, so they will show Spezia no mercy.
Our prediction - Fiorentina to win
Fiorentina are the clear favourites in this fixture. The Violets are in superb form and they have never lost to Spezia before. But the Little Eagles have improved their performance lately, in particular on the defensive, thus we do not expect a crushing defeat here. We think that Fiorentina will win by a narrow margin.
