AS ROMA v CROTONE
Wednesday 25th October 2017 – Kickoff: 1945hrs
Football – Italy – Serie A Betting Tips
Roma know they cannot afford any slip-ups on Wednesday night when they play host to Serie A strugglers, Crotone, when the two teams meet at their Stadio Olimpico as the hosts are already seven points adrift of league leaders, Napoli.
Roma bounced back well from their recent 1-0 defeat at home to the aforementioned Napoli when they registered a 1-0 win of their own away at Torino on the weekend, and nothing less than three points again on Wednesday night is the requirement if they’re to maintain their interest in the Serie A title race.
But having recorded five wins from their last six matches overall, Roma should possess the confidence to record a home win here and further improve their existing record on home soil of 2-0-2 7/5, particularly with striker Dzeko (7 goals) in form.
Visitors Crotone find themselves in the bottom three of the Italian top flight and early relegation problems after their heavy 5-0 defeat away at Sampdoria on the weekend. This is the second time in their last three away matches that they’ve shipped five goals having previously suffered a 5-1 loss at the hands of Atalanta as well.
It’s now five league matches without an away win for Wednesday night’s visitors who possess a poor looking away record of 0-1-3 2/12 as well as being the side that has conceded the most goals on their travels in Serie A so far this season.
Roma have also won the last two meetings between these two sides with 4-0 and 2-0 wins respectively, so the signs aren’t good for Crotone here.
Pick: Roma HT/FT @ 1.62 Coral
