AS Roma vs Shakhtar Donetsk Soccer Betting Picks – Europa League

In Europa League, EUROPA: Europa League - Play off-uri

Roma started this Europa League season with great ambitions. Only winning the title would completely satisfy the Italians at the end of the season. Coach Fonseca has already announced that he will continue to take international business very seriously. So far, the Romans have been extremely confident, but now for the first time a real touchstone is in the way. Although the upcoming opponent already caused a sensation in the Champions League with sensational results, the best betting providers at AS Roma vs. Shakhtar Donetsk clearly show the odds in favor of the hosts.

Only two points have been given in the four home games so far at international level. With only two goals conceded, the defense in their own stadium is sometimes extremely secure. However, their opponents in the round of 16 represent a considerable hurdle, which is why the Italians need two excellent games to advance. In the league, however, only five of the last ten games could be won, so things are currently not going completely smoothly in the Eternal City.

In the 15 home league games so far, the attack around Dzeko, which is questionable in the coming game, has already scored 33 goals. In the Euro League there were only once fewer than three goals at home, so the guest defense can expect a lot of work.

If you give Real Madrid five goals in two games, you should have at least a theoretical chance of success against every opponent. The two victories against the “White Ballet” have been the highlight of the season for the Eastern Ukrainians so far.

The workforce for AS Roma vs Shakhtar Donetsk

But the 13-time Ukrainian champion is also doing well on a national level, with only one defeat over the entire season. Is that why a tip on the guests is the better option at AS Roma vs. Shakhtar Donetsk?

Coach Castro will send his boys into the game with a very clear route, not getting a goal is first of all top priority in his playing area. In fact, Shakhtar has already been able to keep his own box clean in the last four international games. The fact that they also kept zero twice against the strong offensive Inter should be the ultimate proof of the quality of this defense.

In the league, too, the issue of “goal prevention” is an important one, because in four of the last five games they have not conceded a goal. In all competitions together, Kryvtsov and Co. conceded five times more than one goal.
