Salernitana vs Spezia Player to Watch

Antonio Candreva is our player to watch for this match. The veteran Italian winger may not be performing at the same level as he one was but his experience and overall ability will always make him a threat. As Salernitana's top scorer last season, Candreva is the star man for the home side and if they are to win this match it'e almost certain that Candreva will have a say.
