On Tuesday, starting with 20:15, the match AS Roma – Spezia will be played, within the eighth finals of the Italian Cup.
Certainly, both coaches will have to make important changes in the first 11. The Serie A season is played on “automatic fire” and it is extremely likely that physical wear will make its presence felt soon. Therefore, most likely, both Paulo Fonseca and the coach of Spezia, will rest the most important players, to keep them 100% fit for the championship matches.
Taking into account the aspects mentioned above, the Italian press reports that AS Roma could start the match with a starting formula similar to that used in Europa League matches – more precisely, with 4 Spaniards: Carles Perez, Borja Mayoral, Pedro and Pau Lopez. In other words, Roma will bet on Gianluca Mancini on defense, because he is suspended in Serie A and, unlike other competitions, in Italy the red card he received was strictly suspended in the competition in which he was received.
On the other hand, Spezia will be widowed by the presence of one of the best players, M’Bala Nzola, still injured. In this sense, the young Roberto Piccoli, but also Andrey Galabinov, should start as a starter in the 4-3-3 drawn by Vicenzo Italiano.
Taking into account both the starting formulas presented in the local press, we can’t help but notice the extremely large difference in value. Thus, we are convinced that a bet based on the evolution of Romanians can bring us profit.
AS Roma (3-4-2-1): Lopez; Mancini, Fazio, Kumbulla; Peres, Diawara, Cristante, Spinazzola; Pedro, Perez; Mayoral;
Spezia (4-3-3): Rafael; Vignali, Chabot, Dell’Orco, Marchizza; Deiola, Pobega, Saponara; Agudelo, Galabinov, Farias.
Spezia eliminated AS Roma on penalties in the eighth round of the cup, 2015/2016 edition;
AS Roma, without failure on home soil from July 2, 2020 (0-2 vs Udinese);
Spezia is 5 points above the “red line” of relegation to Serie A.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,81
