Match preview
Their previous two wins in this head-to-head have both come in the Italian Cup and were tied games after 90 minutes.
Spezia Calcio come into the match on a run of three league games without a win. They have picked up 10 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
Aquile lost their last league match away to Bologna FC. Expected goals of 2.0 to 0.3 in favour of Bologna indicates perhaps it was a fair result. Although, after Rey Manaj had given them a tenth-minute lead, they will be disappointed to get nothing from the game. Bologna’s goals coming a few minutes from the whistle in both halves did the damage here. The final score of the match was 2-1.
Their opponent on Sunday, AS Roma, come into the match on a run of five league games undefeated. They have picked up nine points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
The Yellow and Reds shared the points in their last league match at home to Hellas Verona, in a four-goal thriller. Expected goals of 0.8 to 0.3 in favour of Verona indicates Roma were a little fortunate to escape from the game with a point.
Roma probably won’t get away with too many performances like this. After going two goals behind, they created zero big chances, had only three shots on target and yet scored two goals despite an xG of just 0.3. The final score of the match was 2-2.
