Spezia vs Roma Prediction

Aquilotti have played out three consecutive draws at home and will be looking to avoid a defeat in this match as well. They have kept clean sheets in their last two league games but have conceded at least a goal in their last four meetings against the visitors and a clean sheet seems unlikely for them.

The Giallorossi are undefeated in their last six away games but have kept just one clean sheet in that period, so they might struggle to keep the goals out in this match. Thirteen of Spezia's 17 goals this season have come at home and they are expected to find the back of the net.

Considering the form of the two teams, we expect the game to be contested closely and a draw might ensue.
