Roma vs Porto Preview

Following a 1-1 draw in the first leg, Roma and Porto clash yet again in the second leg of Europa League's playoff round.

Heading

Claudio Ranieri's Roma side have been unpredictable this season and head into this fixture on a mixed run of form with five wins, three draws and two defeats in their last ten games in all competitions.

They have won only three of their nine Europa League matches this season and have looked porous in defence conceding in six of those games while six of their last eight games in all competitions have featured Under 2.5 goals.

Roma are strong at home in this competition though with three wins and a draw while conceding a total of one goal in four home Europa League matches.

Porto are undefeated in their last six games in all competitions and come into this fixture on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Farense in the Portuguese league.

They are on a poor run of form and have now won just two of their last ten games in all competitions. Porto have struggled in defence, conceding in eight of their last ten games in all competitions with both teams to score featuring in five of those games.

They have won just three of their nine Europa League games this season with both teams finding the back of the net in five of those games.

Over 2.5 goals have featured in three of their four away Europa League games this season.

Verdict

Roma v FC Porto

Porto have scored in all four of their away Europa League games this season but could find it difficult against a Roma side who are strong at home. This could lead to a tight game with Under 2.5 goals.
