Real Madrid vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting tips
On Wednesday the start for renewed title defense begins for Real Madrid. The opponent is AS Roma, who last year threw FC Barcelona off in a memorable return leg in a curious way. So we can look forward to a real treat.
Real Madrid:
Real Madrid started very well in La Liga. With three opening victories, they played in second place in the table. Only FC Barcelona were able to sit in front of them due to the better goal balance. On the fourth matchday came the first damper. Only a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao jumped out in the end. A residue from the 32nd minute made Isco equal in the 63rd minute. For more it was then no longer possible despite field superiority.
In the last season they finished in the home table only fourth place. Only twelve out of 19 games were won at the Bernabeu Stadium. But overall, the last season was the worst season since 2005 / 2006. Here was the last time a score of less than 76 points. Only the very good performance in the premier class probably saves Zinedine Zidane’s job.
Interesting to observe recently was the transfer policy of the Royal. A total of EUR 100 million was invested in mostly young talents. The sad truth: Not a single minute is on their account. Vinicius Junior, Alvaro Odrizola and Mariano Diaz are ahead of their competitors and have yet to prove under Lopetegui. It is therefore very likely that this will not change against AS Roma. More than two goals have been scored in Real Madrid‘s last ten Champions League games. That this could be the case against Rome despite the departure of Ronaldo, is quite likely. Bale, Benzema and Co. work well together and compensate for this omission so far surprisingly well. It’s no surprise that Real Madrid vs. AS Roma is the clear favorite, according to bookmakers betting odds.
AS Roma:
Last year’s semifinalist of the Champions League started rather poorly in the Serie A. On the first match day they succeeded so far the only win of the season at Torino. After that, they drew twice (3: 3 against Atalanta Bergamo and 2: 2 against Chievo Verona). The opposite is a defeat in the San Siro against AC Milan (1: 2). So they are after four matchdays in ninth place in the table with a goal balance of 7: 7.
In Madrid, the AS Roma can possibly figure something out. “La Lupa” won a total of twelve times in stadiums last year, making it the third best away team. In addition, they got the least away goals (9 in 19 games). Where the trip will go for the Roma this year is currently unclear. After the departure of keeper Alisson towards Liverpool, the defense seems to be somewhat weakened. Having missed the opening game against FC Turin, they conceded two or more goals in every other match.
