For the 38th and last matchday of the Italian Serie A, Roma welcomes Spezia to the Olimpico.
Roma the previous matchday, having in her mind the final that would follow, lost away to Fiorentina 2-1. She took the lead in the 11th minute, but she paid for her laxity in the last quarter and conceding two goals, she lost the match.
Thus he completed 7 matches without a three-pointer and at the end of the match he found her in 6nd place with 60 points, one more than 7th Juventus, which gives a ticket to the groups of the next Europa League. In the event that the Great Lady passes it in the final classification, then Roma will begin its European obligations from the Conference League qualifiers.
On Wednesday, Roma lost on penalties in the Europa League final to Sevilla, in regular time the two teams were tied 1-1. He took the lead in the 35th minute, but in the 55th minute he was equalized and with the score unchanged, the two teams went to overtime. Nothing changed there either and everything was decided on Russian roulette.
Under-par Spezia last week, thrashed by Torino 4-0 at home. He was behind in the score at 24' and in the last 20 minutes collapsed conceding 3 more goals to shape the final result.
With this defeat they remained on 31 points, the only positive for Leonardo Simplici's team is that the following day Verona also did not win against Empoli. Now the two teams are tied for 17th place. If this does not change in the last game, then they will play a play-off match at a neutral venue.
On the one hand, the wounded Roma wants the victory to secure the 6th place regardless of what Juve will do in their own match. Spezia, on the other hand, wants the three points to at least not be relegated from today, regardless of the Verona result. I think that Roma have a significant advantage of victory as they are superior in quality and experience and I will trust them.
Prediction: Roma – Spezia 1 with an odds of 2.00
