AS Roma conclude their Serie A season on Sunday, as they play host to Spezia. The Italian giants will need victory in their final match to secure European qualification, and a win could be good enough to secure a Europa League place.
Serie A Preview
It has been a competitive season for AS Roma this term, and they look on course for a place in Europe next term. However, it remains to be seen which competition they will be competing in. Victory in the Europa League final would secure a spot in the Champions League, but defeat against Sevilla would then require them to pick up maximum points against Spezia this weekend.
A victory will definitely secure a Europa Conference League place, but it could also secure a Europa League place, depending on Atalanta’s result on Sunday. To finish fifth, Roma will need to claim victory and hope that Atalanta don’t win. However, Roma will need to do their own job first, as they have failed to win in their previous five Serie A fixtures, and have lost two of their last four.
This is also a huge match for Spezia this weekend, as they are still looking down the barrel of relegation. They come into this fixture sitting 17th in the standings, and they are only outside of the relegation places on their head-to-head record. Spezia will need a victory to secure their top-flight status, as Hellas Verona could leapfrog them on the final day.
Spezia comes into this fixture after going two without a win, but they have lost just once across their last three matches in Serie A. However, that loss was suffered in their previous match, as they were easily beaten by Torino at home.
AS Roma vs Spezia Head to Head
Roma has an excellent record in this fixture, as they have won each of their last three against Spezia. They have also kept clean sheets in all three matches over that period. Their most recent win over Spezia came in the form of a 2-0 win earlier this season.
AS Roma vs Spezia Prediction
Roma’s approach to this fixture will likely depend on the outcome of the Europa League final in midweek. If the Italian side are beaten by Sevilla, we expect them to field a full strength line-up on Sunday, and claim maximum points with a 2-0 scoreline.
