Roma travel to the Emilia Romagna region tomorrow to take on relegation-threatened SPAL.
SPAL are trying hard not to go straight back down to Serie B at the first time of asking. They are currently in 17th place, just one point above the drop zone. As a result of their fight against relegation, it will not be an easy game for Roma. SPAL caused problems for Fiorentina last week, holding La Viola to a 0-0 stalemate. They managed the same score against Juventus a month earlier as well; in fact, they have drawn their last six straight games. Roma may have one eye on Tuesday's Champions League semi final against Liverpool, but will need to be fully focused to make sure their hosts don't extend that unbeaten run. Diego Perotti has finally shaken off his injury troubles to return to the squad, but may not be risked from the start. Aleksandar Kolarov, meanwhile, has been left out of the squad, with what the club report as a "minor muscle injury." They will hope to have their key player back for the trip to England. For tomorrow's game, either Jonathan Silva or Luca Pellegrini will start in his place - meaning we will see a Roma debut in the game. In the last meeting between the two sides, Roma won 3-1. Edin Dzeko, Kevin Strootman and Lorenzo Pellegrini gave La Magica a three-goal lead, before ex-Roma midfielder Federico Viviani grabbed one back from the spot. Saturday's encounter kicks off at 2pm UK time.
