AS Roma - Fiorentina (Europa League)

On Thursday night at the "Stadio Olimpico" in Rome will be the resolutely revenge match of the eighth-finals of the Europa League between the team of Roma and Fiorentina. The first meeting ended with a draw of 1:1 in Florence. The hosts have seemingly advantage, but realistically each opponent retains chances to prevail. It is a guarantee that we will watch a great battle for ranking in the tournament. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 2.05 for a home win, with a draw at 3.50 and 4.00 for the victory of the guests.

Roma turned the promising season in complete failure and now is 14 points behind the leaders Juventus without any chance to win the Scudetto. Also, the team is out of the Cup of Italy and the trophy in the Europa League is an alternative for the salvation of the failed season. Only a few days ago, "wolves" conceded the first home defeat in Serie A against Sampdoria with 0:2. The team won once in the last nine games in all competitions. Now, Roma is pressed against the wall and there is no other option to the players of Rudy Garcia except victory on Thursday night. Leandro Castan and Kevin Strootman are permanently injured in the camp of Roma and with punishment is Radja Nainggolan. Questionable are the participations of Victor Ibarbo and Maicon.

Fiorentina is currently considered as one of the best teams in Italy. Led by Vincenzo Montella composition demonstrates excellent football and showed during the season that is a serious and solid team. "Violets" lost only once in their last 16 games in all competitions. A few days ago managed to turn Milan at home and won with 2:1. Fiorentina already won once this year in "Stadio Olimpico" with 2:0. It happened about a month ago in the Cup of Italy. Guests of Florence need hits, but this is definitely not their strong side especially at away games. Giuseppe Rossi and Federico Bernardeschi continue the treatment of their injuries in the composition of Fiorentina and Mario Gomez recently joined them. Questionable are Khouma Babacar and Stefan Savic and their participation will be decided until the last minute.

Despite its poor form, Roma is considered as the favorite according to the leading bookmakers. Fiorentina needs to attack and to seek goals. Our forecast mentioned by www.bestsoccceradvice.com is for tension game with lots of pressure from both sides, which will end without a winner in the regular time.

Prediction: Draw @ 3.50 at bet365
