Spal vs Carpi tips and predictions

Spal might not hold all the aces against Carpi

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Spal makes them a no-bet. Carpi don't look likely to get the job done but they might make the hosts stutter. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go mad about.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Having created something of a fortress at home, Spal have conceded at an average of just 0.8 goals per game over their last 18 matches, while Carpi have only conceded 0.7 goals per game on average in their last 3 away matches.

I Biancazzurri are decent favourites and it is possible they just don't give any chances away. It isn't a strong view and it won't be for everyone, but the No BTTS bet could be worth considering.

Spal have drawn 9 of their last 19 matches on their own soil and Carpi have drawn 5 of their last 9 matches. They shared the spoils with Entella last week. It's not very exciting and it feels like a match to be circumspect about. Stalemate beckons after what will probably be a low-scoring affair.
