The Italian Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Spezia play host to Atalanta at the Stadio Alberto Picco on Sunday.
The Aquilotti will head into the game seeking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win their last four meetings.
Spezia were left empty-handed once again as they fell to a 4-3 loss against Lazio on Saturday.
They have now lost their last three league games, managing just one point from the last 12 available.
With two games to go before the 2021-22 campaign draws to a close, Spezia are five points above the relegation zone. They sit 16th in the Serie A table with 33 points from 35 games.
Meanwhile, Atalanta’s underwhelming campaign was summed up on Monday, as they needed an 88th-minute strike from Mario Pasalic to salvage a 1-1 draw with 17th-placed Salernitana.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have now managed just one win from their last eight games across competitions, losing four and drawing three.
With 56 points from 35 games, Atalanta are eighth in the league table, level on points with seventh-placed Fiorentina in the Conference League qualification spot.
