Roma Preview – Capital club to return to winning ways?
By their high standards, Roma have had another tough Serie A campaign. Jose Mourinho’s men have picked up 17 wins, suffered 11 defeats and have drawn eight times. They currently sit sixth with 59 points to their name.
Roma recently went on an impressive 12-game unbeaten run in league action, winning seven and drawing five. However, they are now winless in four, taking just two points from a possible 12. In their previous Serie A matchup last Monday, the Magic One lost 2-0 at Fiorentina.
Mourinho has guided Roma to the UEFA Europa Conference League final, where they will face Dutch side Feyenoord in Tirana. If they can win that and finish in the top six in Serie A, Roma would have had a decent season.
Venezia Preview – End of the road for last season’s Serie B play-off winners?
Venezia kept their slip survival hopes alive with a 4-3 win against Bologna last week, but relegation to Serie B looks a formality. Prior to Sunday’s rare win, the Winged Lions had lost ten league fixtures in a row.
Venezia, who were promoted via the play-offs last term, have been well out of their depth in the top flight this year, winning just six of their 36 fixtures. No side in Serie A have suffered more defeats (23), and the strugglers have a -35 goal difference.

The Europa Conference League finalists have been in poor form in Serie A in recent weeks, but Mourinho’s troops should be too strong for the league’s bottom side on Saturday. We can see Roma avenging the November defeat to Venezia in style, and there is good value in 6/4 for the hosts to win -2.
England international Tammy Abraham has had an excellent season, scoring 27 times for club and country. Abraham netted the winner in the recent European victory over Leicester City, and the 24-year-old Londoner is available at 13/5 to score the first goal of this game.
