Hellas Verona and Spezia will battle for three points in a matchday seven Serie A fixture on Sunday.

The home side come into the clash on the back of a thrilling 3-3 draw away to Genoa last Saturday. Nikola Kalinic scored an injury time equalizer to share the points after Genoa had scored three goals in the last 13 minutes to take a 3-2 lead.

Spezia suffered a 2-1 defeat to AC Milan on home turf. Daniel Maldini and Brahim Diaz scored second-half goals on either side of Daniele Verde's strike to give the Rossoneri all three points.

Verona vs Spezia Prediction

The two sides have a lot to play for and will be eager not to drop points against a direct relegation rival.

Both defenses have been breached at will this term and that trend could continue with goals at both ends. There is little to choose from between them and although one side could nick this one, we are predicting a share of the spoils with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Verona 2-2 Spezia
