AS Roma take on the visitors Barcelona at “Stadio Olimpico” in the reverse fixture of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final. The match will be played in Rome on Tuesday, April 10th.
This AS Roma do not impress with their attacking capability. Even though there are enough strong performers in the team’s attacking group, still, it demonstrates truly horrible effectiveness. The side’s latest fight against Fiorentina is a prominent proof of the mentioned above as “I Lupi” had made 25 shots on target resulted in zero scored goals. And that was not a single accident, it is a real unpleasant tendency for AS Roma which cannot boast with high efficiency in attack. “I Lupi” have scored only 50 goals since the start of the season which is not an appropriate result for the Serie A favourite.

Meanwhile, Barcelona demonstrate rock-solid defense in this season. Ernesto Valverde’s team has conceded only 16 goals within the LaLiga so far which doesn’t exceed much an achievement of Diego Simeone’s team (14 goals conceded), notable for its remarkably tough defense. It should be noted that “Blaugrana” has passed confidently through the UEFA Champions League group stage, having conceded one single goal in six encounters played. The modern Barcelona are capable not only to lead the game, but also to hold the required score. Moreover, the Catalan grand now prefers to save their forces rather than to bring the goal festival to the fans.
Taking into consideration the clubs’ statistics in this season as well their performance in offense and defense, I do not believe that AS Roma will manage to score twice to Barcelona even at their own turf as “I Lupi” have scored more than one goal only in three out of eight tackles conducted in this season’s UEFA Champions League.
Prediction for the match: Under 1.0 scored goal by AS Roma.
