Our prediction for this Serie A match:
AS Roma will try to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Como when they welcome Parma to their Stadio Olimpico on Matchday 17. The Giallorossi have been struggling to find their best form under Claudio Ranieri, but they are still seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s matinee. Important attacker Artem Dovbyk is widely expected to return to the starting XI, with defender Gianluca Mancini pushing for a recall as well. As Ranieri has a luxury to field the best possible side against Parma, home win should definitely be considered.
The Gli Emiliani, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Inter (1-3) and Verona (2-3). As Roma are in need for points to stay in the Champions League race, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. All Estevez, Kowalski, Circati, Bernabe, Osorio, and Valenti are rated doubtful for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (AS Roma):
AS Roma is a professional football club based in Rome. Roma were founded by a merger in 1927 and they play in the Italian Serie A. Roma’s fiercest rivals are Lazio and it has to be noted that both capital clubs play their home games at Stadio Olimpico. The two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Capitale, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world of football.
The Giallorossi (The Yellow and Reds) have won three Serie A titles (1941/1942, 1982/1983, 2000/2001), while winning nine Coppa Italia trophies. The colour of Roma’s shirts is imperial purple with a golden yellow trim. A number of top-class footballers were part of Roma in the past, but Francesco Totti is undisputedly the club’s biggest legend.The Prince of Rom made his 601 appearances for Roma on 14 May, 2016 when the Giallorossi recorded a 3-1 win over Milan at Stadio San Siro.
