Roma are unbeaten in their last 14 home matches in Serie A having recorded four draws and 10 victories.
Paulo Fonseca, the Roma manager, explained why the team tends to concede goals from individual mistakes following their clash with Spezia.
“Everyone in football knows that there are moments like that, when it isn’t a result of a tactical problem," Fonseca said.
"We are going through a moment where teams take advantage of our mistakes. I only know one way to change that: we have to work harder to ensure we avoid those moments.
"The three Spezia goals today aren’t a fair reflection of how we played and defended. We created a lot of chances and we won really well.”

Meanwhile, Verona claimed an impressive 3-1 win over Napoli at home in their previous league match which was played January 24.
Prior to the clash with Napoli, the Yellow and Blues' three-match unbeaten run in this competition had been ended by Bologna.
The defeat to Bologna also ended Verona's seven-match unbeaten run on the road in Serie A having recorded four draws and three wins.
The last meeting between Roma and Verona in a league game was on 19 September 2020.
Verona ran out 3-0 winners over Roma in a match which was played at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.
