Spezia vs Roma Prediction: Will the Eagles be able to take points away from Roma at home?

Spezia hasn't lost in the national championship for five consecutive rounds. Will the Eagles be able to take points away from Roma at home?

Spezia

On Thursday, the team played an away game in the Italian Cup round of 16 against Atalanta and failed to put up a credible challenge against the Bergamas. In the first half, thanks to goals from Ekdahl and Verde, the Eagles, who conceded three times, still had a claim to the final success (2:5). But in the second half, they did not create a single goal-scoring chance and after conceding twice, they lost without a chance.

La Spezia dropped out of the Cup, but recently they have been performing more than adequately in the league. So, in 2023 the modest team has not allowed any defeat in Serie A - they played 2:2 at home with the same Atalanta, stopped also on their field strong Lecce (0:0), and in the previous matchday they even beat Torino (1:0). In total La Spezia have already had five matches without defeat. The team sit 15th in the standings nine points ahead of the relegation zone.

Roma

The Romans played a cup match the week before (victory over Genoa 1:0 at home), so the previous game was held last weekend in the championship. On home soil, the team beat Fiorentina 2:0 - Paulo Dibala scored a double. Thus, Roma does not lose in the tournament, as well as La Spezia, for five consecutive rounds. However, the team of the capital has only two victories in this stretch, the team played three draws, including with Sassuolo and Torino - not the strongest opponents. In the standings Roma is in seventh place and three points behind the top four - the Champions League competitions.

Expert Betting Tips

La Spezia will play a match against Roma in just two days on the third after a difficult away match in the Italian Cup with Atalanta. Luca Gotti does not have a squad deep enough to rotate without losing efficiency, and thus to play effectively on two fronts. La Spezia in the upcoming game may simply not have enough strength. With Paulo Dybala, who has been playing well lately, Roma will surely take advantage of the opponent's fatigue and get a significant victory, perhaps allowing them even to return to the Champions League competition.
