After the victory against Empoli, 2-0, in the last round of Serie A matches, which followed the derby against Lazio, Roma want to keep up their climb to the top of the table against Spal. Eusebio DiFrancesco gave only one confirmation as to who would start the match for the giallorossi at his press conference, and that player is Luca Pellegrini, who will play in place of Aleskander Kolarov (who is missing the match due to a foot problem along with De Rossi). The midfield is likely to be made up of N'Zonzi, Cristante and Lorenzo Pellegrini, while there are no surprises in the attack. Dzeko will play as Patrik Schick has not been called up to the match due to a muscular problem. Here is the probable lineup for DiFrancesco's men:
Roma (4-3-3): Olsen; Florenzi, Manolas, Fazio, Luca Pellegrini; N'Zonzi, Cristante, Lorenzo Pellegrini; Under, Dzeko, El Sharaawy.
