Roma vs Salzburg Predictions | Europa League Betting Tips
Roma vs Salzburg Recent Form
Roma have not started their Europa League season great. What seemed like an easy group turned out to be a challenging series of games for La Lupa. Nonetheless, they finished second in the qualifier group, six points behind Betis. Out of six games, they won three, lost two, and drew one. Despite advancing into the playoff stage, the performances should have been better.
In the league, they are currently in 3rd place. After 23 rounds, La Lupa have won 13 games, but lost five and ended five in a draw. Similarly, fans expected a lot more with guidance from Jose Mourinho. Nonetheless, the team is making improvements but slowly.
On the other hand, Salzburg got into the Europa League with relegation from the Champions League. They finished third against Chelsea, Milan, and Dinamo Zagreb. In six games, they had only won one, lost two, and ended three in a draw.
When it comes to the national league, they seem to be unrivalled leaders. At the moment, they are the table leaders with six points ahead of the second-in-line team, Sturm Graz. After 18 games, they have 14 wins, three draws, and one loss.
Roma vs Salzburg Head to Head
Up until this season, Roma have not met with Salzburg before. However, as this is the second round, we take a closer look at the first leg. In the first round, Salzburg were the home team, and they used this to their advantage and took the win.
The bookies were unsure in deciding on the favourites but leaned slightly towards La Lupa to win. After 88 minutes of deadlock, Salzburg’s Nicolas Capaldo scored a header and took a crucial win for his team.
Roma vs Salzburg Betting Tips
To tie up all information, we list some potential Roma vs Salzburg predictions. First, we check out the latest odds. This time around, the bookies favour Roma heavily, with the odds for the win being at 1.73. For Salzburg to steal the win, the odds are at 5.10, and for a draw, at 3.65.
Normally, one would easily side with Roma, seeing how they are a team from one of the top European leagues. However, Salzburg already managed to win once, and they have the team to do so again. Nonetheless, La Lupa are on the right track at the moment under Jose Mourinho, thus, we agree with the odds favouring Roma.
Considering the playstyle of both teams, we are unlikely to see many goals. Bettors can also take into consideration the 0-2 goals market, which stands at 1.78. When combined with a bet on Roma, you can get the 1&0-2 market which stands at 3.50 odds.
When it comes to making a correct score prediction, the game could easily go either way. But, this time, Roma are unlikely to let the Red Bulls steal another win. Thus, the 1:0 correct score market favouring La Lupa is worth considering. The market stands at 5.70.
