AS Roma vs FC Porto Prediction & Betting Tips (20 February)

Not really successful this year, AS Roma was only able to offer itself only a fairly disappointing 16th place in the regular phase of this Europa League with a record that can be described as a means with 3 successes, 3 draws and 2 defeats in 8 games. The Italians must therefore compete in the dams to hope to continue their journey in this competition and they got a rather interesting draw last week during the first leg 1-1 by ending in inferiority following the exclusion of Cristant. Overall better since the arrival on the Ranieri legend bench, the Louve club has risen to 9th row in Serie A ranking where it has been undefeated for 8 days. Winners in Venezia 0-1, the Romans will have to negotiate a new trip Sunday on the field of Parma 0-1. The FC Porto, for his part, was not particularly noted either during the league phase where he could not get better than a 18th final place with a short length of behind his opponent of the day thanks in particular to his last success won against the Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-1 on the last day which avoided an early elimination in competition.

Last Thursday, the Lusitanians did not take advantage of their numerical superiority to establish themselves to go to their audience 1-1. In the league, the dragons seem to be won in the title race, accusing 8 lengths behind Sporting before challenging Farense next Sunday. Before this meeting, they had won none of their 5 previous games.

On the Italian side, the side recruited this winter Rensch has quickly joined the infirmary and he will therefore not be able to play this meeting. In addition, the Crisnte framework will be suspended after being expelled to go and the precious Dybala (6 goals, 2 assists), which came out injured in Porto last Thursday, is also likely to have to throw in the towel. Offensively, Ranieri should undoubtedly align the Ukrainian striker Dovbyk (8 goals and 2 passes in SA, 2 goals in C3), a smuggler on the goal scored by ex Lillois Celik last week. In the heart of the game, we could find the French Manu Koné and Gourna-Douath who arrived during the winter transfer window and who could take advantage of the suspension of Crisnte to have playing time unless it is a parent who finds his place to hold the dragons, the Taulier Grujic and the potential Holder Martim Fernandes will again have to give up as was already the case in the first leg. In the recovery phase and registered on the list C3, the longtime absent Ivan Marcano has not come into play last week but he should certainly be on the match sheet.

Aligned in the tip last week, the prolific striker Samu Omorodion (13 goals in the league, 5 Goals in C3) did not have the expected yield during the 1st round unlike the left side Francisco Moura who was able to equalize. This winter, the club lets spinning Fran Navarro (Braga), the promising Nico Gonzalez (Manchester City), the side Wendell (Sao Paulo) and the excellent winger Galeno (al-Ahli) who are clearly lacking in this collective. Conversely, the young winger William Gomes (18 years old, Sao Paulo) has arrived but he struggles to highlight himself.
