Spezia vs Vis Pesaro prediction 21.09.2026 | Serie C

Spezia suffered relegation from Serie B last season and are looking for an instant return to the Italian second tier. And indeed, for now, they are doing a really good job. After a draw with Grosseto in the first round of Serie C, they went on to win the next four games and kept a clean sheet in three of them. So, we can definitely say they are on great momentum, and this game against struggling Vis Pesaro looks like a must-win match for the hosts. 

After a 3:0 win over Perugia, coach Marco Turati spoke to the media. He praised his team and was especially proud of their effort. The coach also highlighted that they made a mix of young and experienced players, which is something that has already paid off. However, he emphasized that they need to continue working hard and not get complacent. 

Vis Pescaro are playing their ninth consecutive season in Serie B, Group B. Last season, they finished 10th, so this terrible start pretty much surprised everyone. At the moment, they are glued to the bottom of the league table with a mere one point from the first five rounds. But besides their poor Serie C start, they also suffered a massive 5:0 loss to Gubbio in the Serie C Cup. So, it was a completely terrible start to the season, with many football pundits saying that it is due to a coaching change and that Andrea Gennari is simply not up to the task.

A big part of Vis Pesaro's defensive problems is the absence of Denis Tonucci, who missed the previous two games due to suspension. According to credible sources, the experienced defender will remain sidelined for one more game and will be available after the Spezia game. It will be interesting to see whether those defensive problems continue without Tonucci in the squad.
