As part of the second round of the Europa League group stage, Italian Roma will play Finnish HJK on their own field. We bring to your attention the forecast for this meeting.
"Roma"
The Romans had a very bad start to September, in away matches, first defeating Udinese in Serie A (0:4), and then began the European Cup campaign with a defeat against Bulgarian Ludogorets (1:2). Last Monday, Jose Mourinho's team managed to win the next away match of Empoli with a squeak (2:1), thanks to which they took 5th place in the national championship standings.
HICK
For HICK, reaching the group stage of the Europa League can be considered a great success, although here the team from Helsinki is unlikely to be able to achieve anything - after all, all the opponents are an order of magnitude higher. In the first round, the Finns lost to the Spanish Betis (0:2) on their own field. At the same time, it is impossible to slow down in the HIKU championship, since after 22 rounds played, they are only 2 points ahead of the nearest pursuer.
Statistics and figures
- "Roma" has won only 2 matches out of the last five, having also lost twice;
- In the last four matches of Roma, the Total bet was more than 2.5;
- Roma has a 14-match unbeaten streak at home (9 wins + 5 draws);
- HICK has lost only 1 match out of the last 11, winning 8 times;
- HICK has conceded at least one goal in four of the last five matches;
- HIC has a 5-match unbeaten away streak (3 wins + 2 draws).
Forecast
Roma cannot afford to relax in this match against the weakest opponent in the group after losing in the first round. Jose Mourinho's team must play with the utmost concentration of attention throughout the match, which will allow it to win in each of the halves in this duel.
