Reason for Salzburg vs AS Roma Predictions
Salzburg is dominating the Austrian Bundesliga once again this season. They are playing well, and since they were eliminated in Cup by Sturm Graz, they will be able to focus on two fronts. During the winter break, they played many matches, and even though they played well in most games, we could see a problem in the defensive line. Salzburg allowed goals against mediocre teams, at best, and when they played against Bayer and Inter, they allowed four goals in each match. Okafor is a great player, he creates a lot of problems for his opponents, and the greatest virtue of this guy is speed. The bench players are expected to show as much as possible and impose themselves on the coach for the starting lineup. Matthias Jaissle stated that after a 4-0 win for Salzburg against A. Lustenau, hopes are high, and they are ready for the playoff in Europa League. For this match, Salzburg will miss Bryan Okoh, Daouda Guindo, Samson Tijani, Lawrence Agyekum, Justin Omoregie, Dijon Kmeri, and Karim Konate due to injuries or eligibility to play in this competition.
Roma started poorly in Europa League, with a loss to Ludogorets but still managed to grab 2nd place with two wins before the end of the group stage. Since the winter break, they were looking solid, losing only one game in Serie A to leagues leader Napoli. Defensively they haven’t been good, allowing at least one goal in three out of the last four matches in all competition. Roma played six matches in Europa League, scoring and conceding at least one goal in five games. They managed to save their net just against HJK at home. Dybala enjoys the field, and when he receives the ball and goes toward the goal, the opponent has problems because he passes through the defense like a fast train. Bryan Cristante plays great and does not allow the opponent to play in the middle of the field. After a 1-1 draw against Lecce, Mourinho was satisfied and told journalists they deserved more from that match. He praised Tammy Abraham, despite the striker missing three great chances in that match. For this match, Mourinho will only miss Leonardo Spinazzola and Ebrima Darboe due to injuries.
Conclusion
There are no favorites in this match, and we won’t be surprised if this clash could end in a draw.
This will be a big fight between these two rivals, and we should expect a goal from both teams. Football fans should enjoy this match and see at least a goal in each net.
