Both Spezia and Sassuolo will be looking for their second league win they face off at the Stadio Alberto Picco in their Matchday three tie on Saturday.
Both sides have claimed one and suffered one loss in their opening two matches, with Spezia winning 1-0 over Empoli on the first day before falling to a 3-0 defeat at Inter Milan last time out; while Sassuolo suffered a 3-0 defeat to Juventus on their opening day but managed to bounce back last time out as they beat Lecce 1-0 at home.
The two teams have identical stats at the moment, conceding three goals and finding the back of the net once. As a result, Sassuolo are just one place above the hosts in the standings, with the two sides occupying the 10th and 11th places respectively.
Therefore they are evenly matched and both will fancy their chances, although Sassuolo have dominated the fixture and won the last time two met in a league fixture, claiming a 4-1 win and they will hope a similar result on Saturday.
