Betting on Associazione Sportiva Roma
In the past few weeks, Roma has complicated its future in European competitions for the next season due to some negative results.
Despite being in the Europa League semifinals, José Mourinho’s team currently sits in Conference League spots after three winless games, including two draws reached in a row.
This situation has dropped the Lupa to seventh place with the same 58 points as Atalanta and Milan but with a worse goal difference than its rivals. All of this with five matches left in the championship and with the possible absences of Chris Smalling, Georginio Wijnaldum, Andrea Belotti, and Paulo Dybala.
Throughout this season, the lack of goals has been a constant problem for the Romans. The team has only managed to score three goals in its last three matches, which means that having the fifth-best defense in the league, with only 31 goals conceded, is not helping much.
Regarding its performance at home, Roma is the team that has conceded the fewest goals in its stadium, allowing only 10 goals in 16 matches played. Moreover, it has only lost one of its last four matches in front of its crowd.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1):Rui Patrício; Gianluca Mancini, Chris Smalling, Roger Ibañez; Nemanja Matic, Leonardo Spinazzola, Bryan Cristante, Nicola Zalewski; Paulo Dybala, Lorenzo Pellegrini; Andrea Belotti.
Betting on Internazionale Milano
Inter could not have picked a better time to step up its game and play its best soccer than in the final stretch of Serie A and the decisive stages of the Champions League.
The Nerazzurri team has not only made it to the final of the Italian Cup and the semifinals of the Champions League, but also it secured a spot in the European places in the local championship with three victories in a row.
After struggling offensively throughout the season, the Simone Inzaghi’s team has scored 12 goals in its last three matches in the Italian Calcio. In its recent five matches across all competitions, the team has found the back of the net 16 times, making the improvement of its offensive performance evident.
The offensive rhythm of Inter Milan has complemented the fifth-best defense in the tournament, only conceding 35 goals, which has secured the team fourth place in the standings with 60 points, two ahead of Atalanta, Milan, and even Roma.
However, the team’s away performance has been its Achilles’ heel. Although Inter managed to win its last two away matches, six out of its 11 defeats this season have come while playing in this condition. It is also away, where the team has received 25 out of the 35 goals it has conceded so far.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): André Onana; Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni, Danilo D’Ambrosio; Nicolo Barella, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Matteo Darmian, Federico Dimarco, Marcelo Brozovic; Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez.
JefeBet Prediction
Inter seems to have everything going in its favor, and it could be able to widen the gap with one of its direct rivals for a Champions League spot.
It is true that the Lupa has the best defense in Serie A when playing at home, but the Nerazzurri team arrives to this match going through a good offensive moment, while Roma is still struggling to score goals.
In addition, the visiting team has had an impressive record in the head-to-head series, at least in recent years. Although the home team won the first match of this season, Inter Milan remained undefeated in the previous 11 games, and it has not lost at the Olympic Stadium in the last five matches.
That being said, these games have also given us a lot of excitement, and in 14 of the last 20 matches, both teams have scored at least one goal. That is why, at JefeBet, we believe it is feasible for this to happen again, considering Inter’s powerful attack, but its weak defense away.
Prediction: Both teams score (ROM 1 – INT 2).
