Lions of Madeira as a whole gave out, albeit not so well, but definitely not a disastrous season. Yes, a serious step back was made. If last season it was possible to stay approximately in the middle of the table, now they are moving closer to the danger zone. For 29 rounds, 30 points were scored, which, as a rule, was mostly enough not to go to the bottom. But not in the current Primeira, where Nacional and, most likely, Farense will definitely take off, but in the 16th position there may be 4-6 teams. However, the rate on Julio Velazquez, which was appointed a little more than a month ago, began to justify itself. At first he did not succeed in everything, but in the 4 extreme rounds he won 3 victories (all 1:0), including both extreme ones.
Roma started in the Europa League group, where they were stronger than Young Boys, Cluj and CSKA Sofia without any problems. In the playoffs, Braga, contrary to all predictions, did not show any resistance to Paulo Fonseca’s team, losing 1:5 on aggregate. It was unexpectedly easy for the Wolves with Shakhtar Donetsk. With a total score of 1:5 the Pitmen lost to the team from the Eternal City. The only rival that created problems for Roma in the playoffs was Ajax. In the away match, the Romans won a 2:1 victory, but in the return match they conceded first and were on the verge of failure, but the Amsterdam club did not convert their chances. A 1:1 draw in Rome sent the Wolves to the semi-finals. In Serie A, Roma has a real disaster, which is the seventh line in the table and 11 points behind the fourth Juventus, which reduces the chances of breaking into the Champions League to zero. A 2:3 defeat to Cagliari in the last round extended Roma’s streak without wins to four games. So, what is the soccer bet prediction for today?
