Roma rides out to face Spezia in their final match of the season this Saturday at Stadio Alberto Picco with kickoff at 21:45.
Roma come into this game match on a back of 2-0 win over Lazio in the Derby della Capitale last weekend and they will be aiming at salvaging all the 3 points to book a place in the Europa Conference League next season. Roma missed to get themselves in the Champions League next season but a win against Spezia on the weekend will see them qualify for Europa league for yet another term.
Roma is currently sitting at position 7 with 61 points on the league table, only 3 points above Sassuolo and they have not won in any of their past four Serie A away matches. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is Roma’s top scorer with 12 goals this season.
Spezia on the other hand managed to secure their survival in the Series A thanks to a goal-thrilling 4-1 win over Torino last weekend. Spezia have nothing to fight for in this game but they will be looking to revenge on Roma as the reverse fixture ended 4-3 in favor of Roma thanks to a last-minute goal from Pellegrini. M’bala Nzola is Spezia’s top scorer with 11 goals.
