Roma vs Wolfsberger Predictions

• Rome only need a point to secure their last 32 passage but will want to win and give themselves a chance of snatching top spot in the group.
• The hosts arrive in good shape, having won 6 of their last 9 games.
• Wolfsberger have nothing to play for in Rome; they are already eliminated having taken just 4 points from 5 matches.
• Having lost 5 of their last 6 games, including each of the last 3, the visitors don’t travel in good spirits.

Roma looking to progress with minimal fuss

Pencilled in as one of the front runners to lift the Europa League, hosts Roma will be looking to avoid any slip up on Thursday and secure their place in the last 32. Having taken 8 points from their 5 matches so far, the Italians have met all expectations and all but have their passage wrapped up.

A professional job still needs to be done but in strong form, Roma can be confident coming into the game. Indeed, they’ve won 6 of their last 9 games and having kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 4 outings whilst scoring an average of 2.25 goals game, the hosts are currently functioning very well at both ends of the pitch

Wolfsberger in poor form 

Meanwhile, there’s no pressure on the game for Wolfsberger and that’s just as well, as the Austrians are not in good form. With just 4 points to their name, the visitors have struggled to meet the demands of the Europa League and that’s unlikely to change in the Italian capital given the shape they arrive in.

Indeed, the side have been struggling in recent weeks and have also had to deal with boss Gerhard Struber’s departure to Barnsley. All in all, Wolfsberger have won just 2 of their last 10 matches, losing 7 times in the process and having also fell to defeat in 5 of their last 6 fixtures, confidence is very low in visiting ranks coming into the game

A routine home win is expected

Ultimately, anything but a comfortable Roma win would be a huge surprise. They are the only side with any competitive need for the points and by far a stronger outfit man for man, they shouldn’t have any issues in securing victory.

All things considered, backing a home win to nil has captured our attention as far as the betting goes and is something we’re more than happy to do. Roma have really tightened up defensively in recent matches and with Wolfsberger in wretched state, the threat they pose is expected to be minimal. Roma have scored exactly 3 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches and we fancy them to hit said total once again, with a 3-0 home win on the cards.
