Roma vs Gent Predictions

• Roma have failed to win any of their last 5 competitive matches.
• Gent are unbeaten in their last 7 competitive matches.
• Gent didn’t lose any of their 6 group games in the Europa League.
• Roma only won 2 of their 6 group games in the Europa League.

Gent look to continue their unbeaten run in the Europa League

Gent head into Thursday’s 1st leg as the form favourites with five wins from their last six competitive matches, while Roma are head into this match looking to put an end to their run of five games without a win. In the group stage Gent didn’t lose a single match and claimed the top spot ahead of Wolfsburg, Saint-Etienne, and Oleksandriya, while Roma finished as runners-up to Basaksehir due to only winning two of their six group games.

The hosts average 1.50 points per home game where they have dropped points in 58% of their matches, while Gent average 1.46 points per away game where they have avoided defeat in 69% of their matches, so you can see just why we have backed Gent with a double chance bet this Thursday.

The visitors score an average of 1.62 goals per away game and concede 1.46 goals while Roma score an average of 1.83 goals per home game and concede 1.58 goals, which is why we have backed a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair this Thursday. Both teams have scored in 75% of Roma’s home games domestically as was the case in four of their six group games in the Europa League, while both teams also scored in five of Gent’s group games and 54% of the visitors away games in the First Division A.

Roma must improve on recent performances if they are to pick up any points on Thursday

Gent scored in two of their three away games in the Europa League and Roma only kept one clean sheet in their three home matches, adding further weight to our prediction for a possible 1-1 draw between the pair. Gent have only failed to score in 15% of their away games this season and exactly 2-goals have been scored in 23% of their trips on the road, while their two draws away from home in the group stage also produced under 2.5 goals.

Roma have kept clean sheets in just 8% of their home games in Serie A but have also only failed to score in 17% as well, while they twice played out 1-1 draws during the group stage of the Europa League and 33% of their home domestic home games have seen exactly 2-goals scored.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on the visitors is the best way to go on Thursday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Gent are unbeaten in the Europa League this season and have form in their favour heading into Thursday’s trip to Rome, while the hosts have been struggling for form of late but both teams have been scoring and conceding goals on a regular basis.
