Spezia Double Chance
Spezia’s destiny is in their own hands on the final day of the season in Serie A and if Verona lose at Milan, then they won’t even need a point at Roma to secure their top flight status. However, circumstances could favour the relegation contenders on Sunday against a Roma side likely to be jaded following their Europa Cup final defeat to Sevilla on Wednesday. Jose Mourinho’s side were taken through an energy-sapping period of extra time before they lost the final on penalties and they could be drained on Sunday as a result. Spezia have avoided defeat in four of their last six games on the road and they could be worth a go in the double chance market here.
Both Teams to Score
Spezia have managed to impact the scoresheet in five of their last seven away games in Serie A and with their hosts likely to be jaded on Sunday, they should have more opportunities to register on the road this weekend. However, while Roma might not be at their best, they should have enough in the tank to extend a fine run of scoring at home that currently sits at 11 games in 12. With plenty to go on here, the second of today’s football betting tips forecasts action at both ends.

Let's take a closer look at the latest markets, odds and probability figures ahead of Sunday’s tussle featuring Roma – Spezia below.
Roma odds: 103/100 (2.03) – 49.3%
Draw odds: 11/5 (3.20) – 31.3%
Spezia odds: 53/20 (3.65) – 27.4%
With home advantage seemingly key, Roma are the bookies’ expected winners on Sunday and the probability of a home win currently sits at 49.3%. Elsewhere, a draw in the half time market is available to back at 21/20 (2.05), while a 1-1 draw in the correct score market – an outcome that landed in three of Spezia’s last six away games – is on the market at a reasonable 11/2 (6.50). That one comes with an implied probability of 15.4%.
Roma vs Spezia News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Roma vs Spezia lineups and team news for Sunday’s clash below.
Roma
Marash Kumbulla remains a long-term absentee for Roma with an ACL injury, though the treatment room at the club is virtually deserted apart from the defender. Jose Mourinho is likely to make plenty of changes to the team that started Thursday's ill-fated UEL final against Sevilla.
Predicted Lineup for Roma: Rui Patricio – Karsdrop, Smalling, Llorente – Zalewski, Wijnaldum, Bove, Spinazzola – Dybala, El Shaarawy, Belotti
Spezia
Spezia will be without Emil Holm on Sunday while Peter Zovko and Joao Moutinho could also be absent. Spezia were dismantled 4-0 at home by Torino in their last assignment and they are just one point clear of the drop zone ahead of the season's final round of fixtures.
Predicted Lineup for Spezia: Dragowski – Wisniewski, Ampadu, Nikolaou – Amian, Bourabia, Esposito, Ekdal, Reca – M'Bala Nzola, Gyasi
Player to Watch – Bartlomiej Dragowski
Spezia goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski is almost certain to be one of the chief protagonists on Sunday. The 25-year-old stopper has started 34 times in Serie A this season, though he had a performance to forget last week when he was beaten four times by Torino.
Dragowski has the reflexes to be a tougher-to-beat guardian however, and if he can muster a top-level display against Roma on Sunday, then he could keep his team in Serie A.
Starting Lineups
Official lineups are usually released approximately one hour before kick-off.
