The two clubs will face each other in the playoff final, battling for the last spot in Italy's top flight. The first leg in Cremona ended 0-0 on Thursday.

This also makes it clear: In the return match on Sunday (20.30:XNUMX p.m.) in La Spezia, a draw is enough for the home team to secure promotion to Serie A due to their better league position. Cremonese, on the other hand, must win to secure their ticket.

De Luca brings a lot of momentum

On Thursday, Manuel De Luca from Leifer was initially on the bench for Cremonese and saw Spezia striker Aurelio's goal correctly disallowed for handball. After the break, the South Tyrolean attacker came on and immediately brought a significant amount of attacking power to the match. However, his efforts were unsuccessful. Therefore, it's clear: De Luca & Co. must win on Sunday! Lorenzo Sgarbi from Bolzano was not in Spezia's squad on Thursday.
