Villarreal take on the visitors Roma in the first leg of Europa League round of 32. The game will be played on Thursday, February 16th at Estadio de la Ceramica (Villareal).
Villarreal are in crisis as the team managed to win only two of their recent tem matches in all competitions, drew six and recorded two defeats. The Yellow Submarine’s offensive line doesn’t impress recently as they scored only two times over 1 goal in mentioned games. At the same time, defensive line that used to be solid, allow too many goals to their standards. As to performance at home, the team took nine wins in 18 home games, drew five and recorded four defeats. It’s quite solid record, but we should note that the team won only one of recent six games at home.

Roma have another solid season but the team isn’t good enough to offer a battle to the leaders Juventus. The Wolves allow small number of goals in recent matches, improving this component, comparing to beginning of the season while offensive line was always their strong side. Roma are on three match winning streak at the moment with 8-1 aggregate goal difference. Spaletti’s men played 17 matches on the road in all competitions this season, recoding seven win, five draws and five defeats.
The opponents haven’t met before. The Italian side appear to be favorites as they are showing better results and compete for high places in strong league while Villarreal are falling further behind the top-4 in Primera. Of course, it’ll be hard for Roma to take a victory in Spain, but they should at least avoid away defeat.
Prediction for the match: Roma to win with +0.5 Asian handicap.
