Command Analysis
Roma
ItalyCurrent form
By the start of the Europa League, Roma was approaching as one of the main contenders for a place in the top eight – the selection of players obliged them to set themselves such tasks. However, the start of the season turned out to be difficult, and the Romans made a lot of mistakes both in the championship and on the international stage, gaining only one point in the first two rounds and immediately demonstrating their vulnerability.
Roma managed to improve during the season, including in the Europa League, but before the last round of the league stage there was a risk of remaining outside the top 24, a 2-0 victory over Eintracht secured a place in the playoffs. In the first match against Porto, Claudio Ranieri's team looked quite decent and led the score, but they did not hold the advantage, and the Wolves coach was extremely unhappy with the refereeing.
In Serie A, Roma failed the starting line, but is gradually gaining momentum and joining the fight for the European Cup. At the moment, Wolves are in ninth place in the table with 37 points and nine points behind the Champions League zone, while sixth-placed Fiorentina are five points ahead. Having beaten Parma 1-0 in the last round, Roma scored their second victory in a row and their 10th of the season.

FC Porto
PortugalCurrent form
Porto, like its current opponent, was considered a clear contender for a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals before the start of the Europa League – experience in the international arena and the selection of players obliged them to set themselves such tasks. The Dragons played their opening matches extremely poorly and scored only one point in two matches, calling into question their ability to compete for a place in the top eight.
As a result, everything almost turned into a disaster for Porto - in the last round of the league stage, the dragons only needed a victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv. If it hadn't been for the Israelis' excellent goal at the end, they wouldn't even have been able to break into the top 24. In the home match against Roma, Porto had to fight back and coped with the task, but a 1-1 draw on their own field now made the Romans the favorites of the pair.
In the Portuguese championship, Porto has traditionally been among the main contenders for the championship title before the start of the season, but this status does not justify it yet. With 46 points, Martin Anselmi's team currently occupies the third place in the table and is six points behind the leader of Sporting, four points more than the second Benfica - there are still chances for the title, but the situation is very difficult.
Disqualifications and injuries
Grujic and Fernandes are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Porto has not lost in the last six matches, with two wins and four draws.
- Porto have scored in the last six games.
- In the last three matches, Porto lost against Roma
Approximate composition: Costa Perez, Otavio, Djalo – João Mario, Eustakiu, Varela, Moura –Borges, Samu, Mora.

Roma has recently improved significantly in the quality of football, and according to the results, there is also stability and promotion in the league table. The Wolves are especially strong on their own field and today they will clearly strive to win and solve everything in the main time – Porto's not the most stable defense will obviously have plenty of problems. At the same time, the Dragons generally look good in recent matches, have very high-level players in attack, and it shouldn't be difficult to respond to them.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The forecast is that both will score. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.90
Betting on the outcome
Roma have been playing their last home matches very strongly – seven wins in the last eight matches at the Olimpico speak for themselves. At the same time, Wolves are missing several important players today – first of all, we are talking about Paulo Dybala. Porto has enough experience at this level, and the game as a whole looks quite decent, the dragons are quite capable of fighting for the 1/8 finals. Porto has reduced four of the last six matches to draws, it makes sense to take a risk and give preference to this outcome, especially since it was not possible to identify a winner in the last three face-to-face meetings between the clubs.
The bet is a draw. This bet is offered for 3.80
Betting on corners
Roma is the favorite and will definitely strive to play number one at home – the hosts should win confidently on the corners.
The bet is a victory for Roma on the corners. This bet is offered for 1.61
