AS Roma – Plzen SOCCER PICKS
The capital table starts as a big favorite due to the offensive potential it has, which usually increases when it acts in the Olympic. For this reason and even when the Czechs are combative and intense in their proposal, we believe that the boys of Professor Di Francesco have what it takes to score at least two goals and win the game. Considering this and knowing that the visit could make mistakes in exit.
Rome:
The “Loba” debuted badly in the Champions League after losing 3-0 to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. Of course, fought the game until the end of the first half, just receiving the goal there (Isco free kick). Of course, despite this, had given many situations and was saved from losing. Then came 2 more goals in the complementary stage, a fact that showed the defensive flaws of the capital against a rival of great individual hierarchy. A detail to consider of this game is that the Italians got a lot of corners in favor (11 in total).
In Calcio, Roma played against Lazio the city’s classic last Saturday (3-1 triumph after winning 0-1 the initial stage). Currently has 11 points in the general table, standing out for being an offensive but irregular in its actions (3 wins, 2 draws and 2 falls in total). Of course, little by little is building this squad, which lost important players in the midfield (Strootman and Nainggolan). In any case, he still has good-looking players like Pastore and Nzonzi, standing out above the contribution of Turkish Under and Bosnian Edin Dzeko. As a local, the team has recorded mixed results, after equalizing 3-3 against Atalanta, drawing 2-2 with Chievo, hitting 4-0 at Frosinone and beating Lazio 3-1. If we analyze these numbers, we can conclude that the team started badly and then straightened the course a bit.
Plzen:
The Czechs did not start well in the Champions League after leveling 2-2 against CSKA Moscow at home. The negative and painful of that match was having tied it after winning it 2-0 and receiving the second goal at minute 50 ‘of the second half. Now his goal is to see if he can steal a point in the Olympic stadium, trying to take advantage of the defensive flaws of his rival. Of course, logic indicates that the lines back and try to counterattack to score. It is not excluded that it comes out from time to time and that it tries to take advantage of some ball to arrive at the rival arc (corner or free throw).
In his domestic league, Viktoria Plzen has added 24 points in 10 played dates, reaching 8 wins and 2 losses in total. It comes to beat Sparta Prague 1-0 in a direct duel for the top of the general table. Of course, he has not yet been able to overcome the surprising leader Slavia Praga. A detail to consider of the team is that it has alternated victories and defeats in its last 5 presentations, missing more regularity between lines. As a visitor, he has recorded the following results so far: Victory 1-3 against Dukla Prague, triumph 0-1 against Sigma Olomouc, victory 0-1 against Karvina, defeat 4-0 against Slavia Prague and defeat 3-0 against Jablonec.
The only match played by Roma and Viktoria Plzen in Italy was almost 2 years ago. More precisely in November 2016. On that occasion, the “Loba” won 4-1 after the final whistle (1-0 from the initial stage). As an extra fact, we tell you that this pick took place in that match at 61 ‘minutes of play with the second goal converted by the Italians.
