Real Betis vs Roma Prediction: Another home win for Betis

One of the highlights of the Europa League group stage matchday 4 will be the duel between Spanish Betis and Italian Roma. The first match of this confrontation ended with a narrow away win for the Sevillians, but despite this outcome and the home advantage, the bookmakers did not identify a clear favorite in the pair.

Real Betis

It is obvious that Betis makes a concrete bet on the Europa League, and the victory over Roma at a certain rate could guarantee the Spaniards not only a place in the playoffs, but also first place in the group, i.e. a slot in the round of 16 of the second in importance European competition. Three rounds played, Betis have nine points, sitting five points behind their nearest pursuer, Ludogorets. Moreover, the Sevillians are also doing well in the Spanish La Liga. Despite dropping to fifth place, Sevilla has the same number of points as Atletico. It is also interesting to note that Betis won all of their home matches this season.

Roma

In the last 9 matches Roma has four defeats. In the Europa League, the Romans lost to Ludogorets and Betis, and in the Italian championship, they were weaker than Udinese and Atalanta. Despite the negative balance and the two home games already played on the international stage, the chance for second place (hardly the first) is still intact. But it is extremely important to bring back from Spain at least one point, not even a victory, and in the fifth or sixth round to beat the Bulgarians and Finns. There is a strong feeling that Roma, despite the failures in the Europa League, still places a big bet on this tournament. The more so because in Serie A the Giallorossi are far from the top 4, and below the Romans there are such monsters as Inter and Juventus, who will surely improve in the course of the season.

Injuries and suspensions

• Betis: Camarasa and Juanmi will not play. Fekir is questionable;
• Roma: Wijnaldum, Darboe, Dybala, Karsdorp, Celik will not play.
