Bet: Roma or Draw and Total Goals under 3,5

As it was predicted by the sports betting companies Roma are chasing Juventus in the title race in the Serie A, so the next top fixture against reborn Inter Milan on Sunday will be of crucial importance for Giallorossi. Thus, the betting experts are sure Spalletti will sit out his key players in the return leg of the Europa League tie against Villarreal. Their first meeting ended with a knockout blow for the Spanish team who suffered a 0-4 loss at home.

Despite the majority of the sports betting predictions Villarreal didn’t manage to put up resistance to their Italian opposition in the first leg. Escriba’s side didn’t look hopelessly, but the scoreboard transforms the second meeting into an empty formality. The Yellow Submarine don’t show perfect performances at this moment in order to come from 4 goals down at Stadio Olimpico. The betting experts also remind that Villarreal have a match against Real Madrid this weekend, so they are likely to keep their energy for an important La Liga battle.

While choosing a bet it’s worth keeping in mind the fact that Roma have outscored their rivals 16-2 in their last 5 matches in all competitions. However, this time Spalletti will give a chance to play to the guys who don’t get enough time on the field. Escriba will probably do the same, that’s why the betting experts think this particular match will see equal rivals, although the overall battle is over. Luckily, none of the teams have major selection concerns, except for Roma’s Florenzi.

The bookmakers don’t have a shadow of a doubt about Roma’s progression in the tournament: 1,01 against 26,00. As for the return leg, they also give preference to Giallorossi, but here they are more cautious: Roma – 1,80, Draw – 3,70, Villarreal – 4,50. It’s recommended to bet on “Total Goals under 3” (1,65). Besides there is a good bet “Roma or Draw and Total Goals under 3,5” (1,75). You may also risk to choose “Total Goals by Home Team over 1,5” (1,74).
