Roma clearly set itself the task of making it to the Champions League at the end of the season, but Paulo Fonseca’s team failed to achieve what they wanted. For a long time, the “wolves” were considered a clear contender for the finish in the top four, but they did not manage to withstand the competition from Atalanta, Juventus and Napoli. At the moment, the Romans are on the seventh line in the Serie A table, being 14 points behind the fourth Milan. It will be unrealistic to win back such a handicap. Moreover, Roma runs the risk of being left without any European cups. The eighth Sassuolo is two points away. The 0:2 defeat against Sampdoria in the last round extended the streak of no victories for the Romans in the championship to four matches. Another opportunity to break into the Champions League was the victory in the Europa League. Roma made it to the semifinals. However, already in the first match, the Wolves suffered a crushing 2:6 away defeat from Manchester United. It would be unrealistic to make such a comeback for today’s Roma. On Wednesday, the leadership of the Roman club officially announced the appointment of Jose Mourinho as head coach. The Portuguese specialist will start working at the end of the season.
Villarreal has another successful season in the Europa League. The team passed the group stage without any problems, after which they took turns knocking out Salzburg, Dynamo Kyiv and Dynamo Zagreb from the tournament. In the Spanish Championship, Unai Emery’s wards traditionally fight for a place in the top five, but have already lost the chance to get into the Champions League zone. The assets of the “yellow submarine” have 13 victories and peaceful outcomes, which brought 52 points and the sixth position in the standings. Lately, the Valencian club has lost concentration, leading to a streak of defeats. In the last five matches, the team suffered three defeats from Osasuna (1:2), Alaves (1:2) and Barcelona (1:2). As for the positive results, we can note the away victory over Levante (5:1) and the home success in the first game of May over Getafe (1:0), for which we made a prediction. In the infirmary of guests are Voith and Iborra, who has an injured knee. On disqualification is Frenchman Capu, who received a red card. So, what is the soccer bet prediction for today?
