Gent vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting tips
In the return in sixteenth finals of the Europa League, KAA Ghent is going to try to brush away the 1-0 defeat of last week’s visit to AS Roma. Last week the Flemings demonstrated that they certainly do not have to be inferior to the Italians, and therefore still believe in a stunt.
KAA Gent:
After last week’s 1-0 defeat in Rome, KAA Gent has to chase Thursday night. Nevertheless, the Flemish can look back on a nice outing, because especially in the second half the visitors regularly appeared dangerously for the goal of AS Roma. However, the desired away goal was not achieved, although analyst Marc Degryse still believes in the opportunities for coach Jess Thorup’s team: ‘KAA Gent played better than AS Roma, but forgot to reward itself in the Olimpico. But with this football, KAA Gent can still put it right at home, if it plays a perfect match. ”
The chances of survival of KAA Gent in the Europa League are largely in the hands of Jonathan David. In the Olimpico the Canadian attacker did not come out well, but with eighteen goals and eight assists in the Jupiler Pro League, he is by far the most important player in De Buffalo’s. David is in the interest of clubs such as Arsenal, Everton, Lyon, Ajax, FC Porto and Manchester United, but the citizens of Ghent demand at least 25 million euros for their golden rooster. Last weekend the striker turned warm with a hat trick against Sint-Truiden (4-1 win) for the squatter against AS Roma.
AS Roma:
Thanks to Carles Perez’s goal of last week, AS Roma can work towards the return with a small lead, but the game of the Italians was not exactly about writing home. I Giallorossi have a draw on Thursday evening, but this diptych has certainly not been decided yet.
The reason for the mediocre Italian game is perhaps because AS Roma actually has other priorities. The Romans are in a fierce battle with Atalanta in the Serie A for the fourth and final ticket for the Champions League. Trainer Paulo Fonseca will not say it out loud, but the away match against Cagliari this coming weekend is probably a lot more important to him than the return against KAA Ghent. In addition, the rinse on the Roman midfield is currently very thin, since Nicolo Zaniolo, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Javier Pastore are all in the rag basket.
