AS Roma take on the visitors Astra in the second round mat of Europa League group stage. The match will be played at Stadio Olimpico on Thursday, September 29th.
As Roma show quite mediocre results in eurocups this season. First, they’ve lost to Porto at home in qualifying round of Champions League and drew their first match of the Europa League group stage at Plzen, 1-1. Results in domestic league don’t look optimistic either. Roma managed to take only one win in their recent four matches with two defeats and one draw. The most recent match was lost at Torino, 1-3. The level of football is also quite poor so all these results are deserved. Roma lost only two home fixtures at own turf this year and both cost them their place in the Champions League (round of 16 loss to Real Madrid last season and 0-3 loss to Porto in qualification for the group stage in August.

Astra started the group stage with 2-3 home loss to Austria Vienna. The team don’t show solid results this season as well, taking five wins, four draws and seven defeats in 16 matches in all competitions so far. It doesn’t look like the record of the team that plans to advance for the round of 32. Astra lost three out of seven away matches and only one time they scored over 1 goal.
Roma and Astra haven’t faced one another before. We should expect Roma to have advantage in this match as they still have solid home record and they need to bounce back after 1-3 loss to Torino.
Prediction for the match: Roma to win with -1.5 Asian handicap.
