[Football- Italy 'Serie A'] 27.1/ 18:30 Bologna- Spezia

Nominal underdogs Spezia have recently recovered some form away from home, winning their last 2 away matches against Verona and Torino. Meanwhile, injury-hit Bologna continues to underwhelm, failing to beat a still winless Cremonese in their last Serie A outing (1-1).

Bologna looked short on ideas in attack against a very limited Cremonese side previously, and I fancy Spezia to get at least a point from this match, with this +0.5 AH / double chance pick.

Bologna's leading goal-scorer Marko Arnautovic is still out with a foot injury, along with Kevin Bonifazi (knee), Nicola Sansone (toe), Gary Medel (thigh) and Lorenzo De Silvestri (calf).

In the absence of Arnautovic, Musa Barrow or Joshua Zirkzee should deputise up front against Spezia. However, a false nine could be deployed by Bologna boss Thiago Motta instead.

For Spezia, with Jakub Kiwior having left for Arsenal and Dimitrios Nikolaou suspended, Spezia should continue with Milan loanee Mattia Caldara at the heart of their defence on Friday.Simone Bastoni's knee injury rules him out until the end of next month, but nine-goal top scorer M'bala Nzola hopes to be available after injury ruled him out of the trip to Rome.Should Nzola, who sits joint-third in the Capocannoniere standings be passed fit, then Kevin Agudelo or Daniele Verde would most likely drop to the bench.
