Prediction: 0-2
AS Roma
Roma will look to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Milan when they take on Venezia at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo on Sunday. Jose Mourinho’s troops are eager to stay in the Champions League berth, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the newcomers. Both Smalling and Spinazzola are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team. Former Chelsea attacker Abraham is widely expected to lead the line for the Giallorossi.
Venezia, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league fixtures. I Lagunari are eager to escape the danger zone, but given their anything but good form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Jose Mourinho’s troops. It has to be noted that all Vacca, Lezzerini, Fiordilino, and Johnsen miss out with injuries for the hosts.
