Football – Italy – Serie A
Wednesday 29th October 2014 – Kickoff: 1945hrs
Roma will be looking to continue their 100% home record at their Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday night when they entertain bottom half club Cesena in the midweek round of Serie A matches.
Roma possess a perfect home record of 4-0-0 9/0 following wins over Fiorentina, Cagliari and Hellas Verona (all by 2-0 score lines) along with a 3-0 win last time out against Chievo, and given the visitors’ struggles on the road so far during this season, Roma will fancy their chances of bagging all three points here tonight.
The ever-green striker Totti continues to score goals at top flight level and with the likes of Destro, Ljaljic and Gervinho in support, Roma look likely to be taking the spoils here particularly as they’ve yet to concede a goal at home in the Serie A as well!
Visitors Cesena are without a league win from their last seven matches and have suffered recent defeats to Juventus away 0-3, Palermo 1-2 and at home to Inter Milan at the weekend. They did grab a couple of points in two recent draws with AC Milan and Udinese which were a slight surprise, but their away form has been poor to date.
Cesena have lost three of their four away matches so far and an overall record of 0-1-3 2/9 going into tonight’s clash is not great preparation for attempting to upset Roma on home turf.
The visitors have actually gone a total of sixteen (16) away matches in Serie A without a win and have failed to score on numerous occasions, and they’ll have their backs to the wall again tonight i fancy.
To wrap up then, I’m confident of a Roma win tonight and that they’ll also keep a clean sheet into the bargain – hence my pick.
Pick: Roma to win and both teams to score – No @ 1.66 bet365
