Roma vs Lille Predictions

•  AS Roma have won 4 of their opening 5 Serie A matches (4W, 0D, 1L).
• AS Roma Conceded just 1 goal at home in 3 matches.
• Only one of AS Roma’s 1 of 6 competitive matches this season has gone over 2.5 goals.

Solid Roma Ready to Edge Open Lille in Rome

AS Roma host French side Lille in the second round of Europa League fixtures. Both teams got off to the perfect start in the first round of matches, with Roma beating another French side in Nice, while Lille saw off Norwegian side Brann. Roma have also started their league campaign strongly, with the Wolves winning four of their five games – a 1-0 loss to Torino being the only blip, in a match they arguably should have taken something from.

Roma’s opening Europa League game was something of an anomaly, as it remains their only competitive match this season to feature over 2.5 goals. All five of their league matches have seen under 2.5 goals. This contrasts with Lille, who have had five of their seven competitive fixtures finish with over 2.5 goals. It sets up a fascinating clash of styles, with Roma’s disciplined and pragmatic approach coming up against Lille’s more open, attacking tendencies.

Roma’s robust defence should play a key role here. They’ve conceded just once at home in three games, and have yet to let in more than one goal in any match. That solidity could prove decisive in helping them to another victory.

Two goals should be more than enough for Roma, who can continue their strong start to the season with a 2-0 win here.
