FC Porto vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting Tips (13 February)

Considered an outsider credible to victory in this Europa League, Porto had to settle for 18th place in the ranking with a small point ahead of the 25th, unskilled for the dams. The teammates of the porter Diogo Costa displayed certain shortcomings with reverse against Bodo/Glimt 3-2, Lazio 2-1 and Olympiakos 0-1. Otherwise, they shared the points with Manchester United 3-3 and Anderlecht 2-2 and took over on Hoffenheim 2-0, Midtjylland 2-0 as well as the Maccabi Tel Aviv on the last day 0-1. On the national scene, Porto is slightly won from the title race. After aligned 3 unattractive games 1 draw and 2 defeats, FC Porto faced Rio Ave to come and the leader, Sporting, last weekend   To its advantage on the continental scene in recent years, Roma has won the C4 in 2022 but also reached the final of C3 in 2023 as well as the last square of this same C3 in 2021 and 2024. The Louve club thus nourishes legitimate ambitions in the Europa League this season.

Nevertheless, the Giallorossi did not finish until 15th in the league phase with one more point than their opponent of the day. Beaten on the lawns of Elfsborg 1-0 and Alkmaar 1-0, they otherwise obtained honorable results. We identify good points taken against Bilbao 1-1, Union Saint-Gilloise 1-1 and Tottenham 2-2 as well as victories acquired against Dynamo kyiv 1-0, Braga 3-0 and Frankfurt during the last Day 2-0. In the championship, Roma has disappointed a lot during the first half of the season but has raised its head for a few weeks. Claudio Ranieri's men run after the hope of returning to European places. After chaining 7 games without setbacks 4 wins and 3 draws, they faced Milan AC in quarters of the Italian Cup to come and Venezia in Serie has last weekend

For this meeting, the defensive sector of Porto is weakened. Indeed, we find at the infirmary the Taulier Grujic, the holder Martim Fernandes as well as the longtime absent Ivan Marcano. On the other hand, the important defender Nehuen Perez is back from suspension as well as the prolific striker Samu Omorodion (13 league goals, 5 goals in C3). The latter should obviously start in front. During the winter transfer window, the French striker (Braga), the side Wendell (Sao Paulo), the excellent winger Galeno (al-Ahli) left. In the opposite direction, the leaders put the grapple on the young winger William Gomes (18, Sao Paulo). Of the Roma side, still lacks the young goalkeeper Renato Marin (18), injured. Otherwise, the entire workforce is available for this trip to Portugal.

Claudio Ranieri should largely renew his confidence in the elements that beat Frankfurt on the last day of the league phase. Thus, the offensive duo could be composed of Dybala (5 goals and 2 passes in SA) and Dovbyk (8 goals and 2 passes in SA, 2 goals in C3). The Pistons Saelemaekers and Angelino also apply just like the Manu Koné and Pellegrini circles. Behind, takes place the veteran Hummels. This winter, the French midfielder the fairy was loaned to Sunderland , the defender Hermoso in Leverkusen, the Zalewski piston at the Inter while the goalkeeper Ryan signed in Lens. In the opposite direction, the lateral Rensch (Ajax) and the goalkeeper replacing Gollini (Atalanta) arrived.
