The Spurs’ final friendly will take place tonight in the Israeli city of Haifa. Antonio ConteaThe side have been undefeated so far over an encouraging summer, beating a K-League XI in South Korea before tying with Sevilla and beating Rangers at Ibrox.
Now the Tottenham players have one last chance to make their mark ahead of next weekend when they open the new Premier League campaign with a home game against Southampton. A Roma outfit coached tonight by former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho and now bragging about Argentine sniper Paulo Dybala are looking to ruin their preparations for 2022/23 tonight.
The Giallorossi had to settle for sixth place in Serie A last season but celebrated winning the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League title in Tirana. Roma started their pre-season schedule with wins over Sunderland and Portimonense, followed by a defeat to Sporting Lisbon and a hard-fought draw with Nice.

Score Prediction
Conte keeps his squad looking fit and fresh and will give Roma a good test in Israel. The Spurs are slightly ahead of their opponents in pre-season – the new Serie A campaign kicks off a week later than the Premier League – so should be able to keep the Italians at bay.
Spurs to win, 2-0.
Roma team news
Roma handed a debut to new signing Paulo Dybala in the defeat to Ascoli, and Jose Mourinho should give him another run, likely alongside former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.
Tottenham team news
Conte has debuted every summer and a few more are expected to be seen in Haifa.
Matt Doherty, who faces a lot of competition as a right-back, didn’t come off the bench against Rangers, so he was able to start in what is expected to be a strong formation, with Ben Davies coming back after a blow.
