AS Roma vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips (7 March)

AS Roma finished second in their group during the group stage, just behind Slavia Prague. With a record of four wins, one draw and one defeat, the Giallorossi had to go through the play-offs to reach the round of 16. Opposed to Feyenoord, they had a lot of trouble getting through this round 2-2, qualifying following penalties. In Serie A, AS Roma today occupies 5th place in the ranking with 4 units of expenditure out of the Top 4, which allows them to take part in the next Champions League. The Louve club found its way back to success after the departure of Mourinho and the arrival of the legend De Rossi. Indeed, during the last 7 league meetings, Paulo Dybala and his teammates recorded a record of 6 victories against a single defeat, against the Italian ogre, Inter Milan 4-2. Since this hitch, the Romans have had 3 consecutive successes, against Frosinone 3-0, Torino 3-2 and Monza 1-4 last Sunday.

They are particularly effective offensively, with 10 goals scored in the last 3 matches in the league. Opposite, Brighton hardly finished at the top of their group in the Europa League, just ahead of Marseille, with only two points difference. After quite complicated results during the group stage, the English finished perfectly with four consecutive successes. In the Premier League, the qualifying places for the European Cup are moving away for De Zerbi's players, who are 11 points behind fifth after 27 days. Over the last 7 matches, Brighton has a record of 2 wins, 3 losses and 2 draws. In 2024, they have only won two matches in the league and they even have two losses suffered against Wolverhampton in the FA Cup 1-0 and Fulham in the Premier League last weekend 3-0.

AS Roma has experienced players in its squad who are used to competing in the European Cup. Among them, Paulo Dybala is a great architect of Roma. With 12 goals scored and 7 assists in Serie A, the Argentinian international could stand out against the English this week. He forms an offensive duo with Romelu Lukaku (17 goals) at the forefront of the attack. Defensively, De Rossi can also count on Ivorian international Ndicka.

The Romans should have almost the entire squad for the Brighton reception, since only the unused midfielder Abraham and the fairly important defender Karsdorp could miss the match. On the other hand, Brighton will have to do without many players like the excellent winger Mitoma , who should no longer set foot on the lawns this season. The Japanese international is not alone in the infirmary, as there are also striker Joao Pedro, long-absent winger March, full-back Hinschelwood and midfielder Milner. On the other hand, De Zerbi can count on the Spaniard Ansu Fati (2 goals) as well as Adingra (6 goals), who is back after his victory at the CAN with Ivory Coast.
