Roma vs Spezia Prediction and Betting Tips | June 4th 2023
Roma will welcome Spezia to the Stadio Olimpico in their final match of the 2022-23 Serie A season on Sunday.
While it is the last match of the season, it has significance for the visitors. They are in 17th place in the league table and have 31 points to their name, the same as 18th-placed Verona.
It is a must-win game for them to retain their top-flight status. Verona face AC Milan in their final match of the season, so they might not be able to record a win but Spezia will hope to not leave things up to chance.
The hosts suffered a defeat against Sevilla in the Europa League final on penalties on Wednesday and Jose Mourinho's men might be a little tired. They are guaranteed a place in Europe next season but will still look to play for a win in this match.

Roma vs Spezia Prediction
The Giallorossi have seen a drop in form recently, with just one win in their last 10 games, they have failed to score in three of their last seven games as well. They have fared better at home, suffering just one defeat in seven games. They are yet to suffer a defeat in Serie A against the visitors, which bodes well for them.
The Aquilotti are winless in their last 10 away games, with just a couple of their six wins this season coming in their travels. They have failed to score in three of their last four games and might struggle here.
Nonetheless, as the hosts have endured a poor run of form in recent games, we expect the two teams to settle for a draw.
Prediction: Roma 1-1 Spezia
