Aston Villa started off quite well this season, but were unlucky with the draw in the National Cup. At the first stage of this tournament, the rivals for the Lions were Chelsea, who beat Birmingham in a penalty shootout. In the English Championship Steven Gerrard’s wards have seven victories and only one peaceful outcome, which brought them 22 points and 10th place in the standings. In the last three rounds the hosts beat Leicester (2:1), lost to Liverpool (0:1) and lost on the road in the last round with Norwich (2:0). It is impossible not to note the worst indicator in the top ten of the Premier League in terms of goals conceded. Traore, Nakamba and Bailey, who has a thigh injury, will not play tonight.
Roma, unlike its today’s rival, started the season very solidly, but over time it lost its shape. At the moment, Jose Mourinho’s team occupy sixth place in the table with 28 points in the assets. Eight points separate the Wolves from the Champions League zone, on which the bet is still being placed. Such a handicap in the second round is still quite possible. At the same time, the team’s performance in recent matches leaves much to be desired. In the 15th round Roma lost 0:1 to Bologna. Then at home the Romans lost no chances to Inter, having suffered a second defeat in a row. The streak was interrupted in the last round. At home Roma beat La Spezia with a score of 2:0. The victory allowed them to bypass Juventus in the standings. More todays football predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
