Then Spezia overcame at home the Pro Vercelli, remaining unbeaten until the 7th. Spezia. During the summer market session, the team made some important strikes, bringing a good mix of expert players (such as Granoche, Sciaudone, and Fabbrini) and young promises (above all Piu, Deiola, Mastinu). After a first-round closed in the play-off zone, would follow a fickle round of return, opened with the defeat against Salerno and closed with the success with Vincenza, won thanks to the goal of Giannetti. By that success, the Aquile were positioned, with 60 points, in 8th place in the standings, in the last position for the play-offs. SPAL and Verona gained direct access to Serie A. In the preliminary round of play-off, Spezia played at the "Vigorito", against Benevento of mister Barone. In a crowded stadium, the first time ended 2-0 in favor of the "witches", thanks to the goals of Ceravolo and Puscas. In the resumption, the reaction of Spezia arrived with Nene who realized the goal of 2-1. In the final minutes, the Aquilotti remained in numerical inferiority for the double admonition of Vignali.
