AS Roma – Spezia : Preview & Prediction
Seventh in the Juventus three-point standings, the Giallorossi can return to Europe with a victory against La Spezia on Monday. José Mourinho’s AS Roma has been struggling for several weeks, however. The good start in the league seems a long way off with twelve points out of a possible fifteen. Since this period, Tammy Abraham’s teammates have obtained only thirteen points in eleven games, which represents a very low ratio. After last weekend’s debacle against Inter Milan at home, the Romans have a chance to redeem themselves at Stadio Olimpico. For that, they will have to be stronger defensively (four goals conceded in two games) and find the net (no goals scored against Bologna and Inter Milan).
As the first non-relegation team, La Spezia is not in the right car. Four points behind sixteenth-placed Venice and just two behind eighteenth-placed Cagliari, the Aquilotti have no room for error against Rome. Unfortunately, Thiago Motta’s men are having a bad time: only one victory and one draw in six games. The most worrying remains the defensive sector with ten goals conceded in the last four games and thirty-six since the start of the season, making it one of the worst defenses in Serie A. given the latest results away from La Spezia: five straight losses and sixteen goals conceded. A wake-up call is expected!
