Serie A continues this weekend and will see Fiorentina host Spezia on Sunday afternoon.
Fiorentina have been rather inconsistent lately as they have won just one of their last four games. They were beaten 1-0 by Lazio in their last game, their third loss in four games, managing to score just once in those three losses and conceding four goals.
I Viola sit eighth in the league table with 15 points from 19 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways at the weekend and break into the European spots in the table.
Spezia have not fared much better than their hosts as they have won just one of their last five games. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Genoa in their last game and will be gutted not to have clinched the win. Aquilotti were clearly the better side but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
Spezia are dangerously close to the drop zone at the moment. With just eight points from 10 games, they are one point away from the relegation places.

There have been just two meetings between Fiorentina and Spezia. The home team have won one of those games while the other ended in a draw.
