Roma vs Carpi Betting Tips

Roma were supposed to be in a position to exploit the slow starts of some of the other main Serie A contenders after coming out on top against Juventus in the second game of the season. Instead, a home draw against Sassuolo and an away loss to Sampdoria has cost them that advantage and they themselves have become a part of a narrative where power house teams are struggling to establish familiar positions in the table in 2015-16.

On a more positive note, Roma looks like a good football team. They look good on the football, they create great chances and they’ve got some exciting players up front, not least young Francesco Totti. We think that this club will come good sooner rather than later.

There’s two ways to look at Carpi’s campaign so far. One way focuses on the fact that they have two points in five games and are currently second from bottom in the table. However, another might look at this team’s improving performances since an opening day 5-2 loss to Sampdoria. It’s definitely getting better for Carpi.

On the other hand, a trip to Roma doesn’t provide too much hope for that elusive first victory of the season.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Roma hit stride

We like the way they have been playing in terms of the chances they are creating and we think that they’ll come together and pull out a more complete performance on Saturday.

2. Asian Handicap

Usually the odds get quite difficult on Asian Handicap in these types of games, but we like the two-goal win for Roma in this context.

3. Tough stretch for Carpi

This is the last game of a tough stretch for Carpi. They’ll have one eye on a three-game run against Torino, Atalanta and Bologna coming up.
