Roma

DLDDWL

Roma will be hoping to bounce back here after the 2-0 Serie A defeat in their last game at the hands of Fiorentina.

In that game, Roma had 45% possession and 6 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. Fiorentina had 12 shots on goal with 7 on target. Nicólas González (5') and Giacomo Bonaventura (11') scored for Fiorentina.

Roma haven’t made the most of their chances in more recent games. Their goals record stands at just 4 versus opposing sides during their previous 6 fixtures. In those meetings, Roma have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them total 7. With no two games being the same, we will just have to wait and see whether that trend might be maintained in this upcoming game.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Roma:

• have not emerged victorious against Venezia in their previous 2 league matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 7 league matches at home.

📰 Team News: Roma

There’s just a single fitness concern for the Roma gaffer José Mourinho to be concerned about due to a largely intact group. Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Hamstring Injury) misses out. Gianluca Mancini is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It seems likely that i Giallorossi may well line up in a 3-4-2-1 system and select Rui Patricio, Marash Kumbulla, Chris Smalling, Roger Ibanez, A. Maitland-Niles, Bryan Cristante, Jordan Veretout, Leonardo Spinazzola, Carles Perez, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Tammy Abraham.

📋 Team News: Venezia

Venezia has some current player fitness concerns. Luca Lezzerini (Patella rupture), Sergio Romero (Knee Surgery) and Marco Modolo (Knee Surgery) are not able to play.

We reckon that Arancioneroverdi will likely play in a 3-4-2-1 formation, giving starts to Niki Maeenpaeae, Ethan Ampadu, Mattia Caldara, Pietro Ceccaroni, Ales Mateju, Domen Crnigoj, Antonio Junior Vacca, Ridgeciano Haps, Mattia Aramu, Sofian Kiyine and David Okereke.

🧠 Prediction

We’re thinking that Venezia will likely be able to breach the defence of this Roma side, however that may not be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re expecting a narrow 2-1 win for Roma when all is said and done. Expecting it to be very competitive.
