Roma vs CSKA Sofia Predictions

• Roma have scored 55 Serie A goals in 2020

Roma’s Defensive Woes to Continue

Monday’s 3-3 draw with AC Milan continued an exciting start to the season for Roma. The Giallorossi have been excellent since the turn of the year, with the hosts hitting 55 goals in just 26 Serie A games in 2020

The goals are likely to continue on Thursday with Roma’s Edin Dzeko has been directly involved in 13 goals in his last 15 UEFA Europa League appearances for the club (11 goals, 2 assists). He’s likely to make an impact again for the Giallorossi.

However, Roma have major issues to deal with at the back. They’ve conceded in four of their last five games, while they finished last season with one clean sheet in their final 15 matches.

Last term’s Europa League group stage saw both teams score in four of Roma’s six games after heavy rotation and our predictions back the same to happen again with Sofia seeing both teams score in seven of their last eight games.

CSKA Sofia have played eight away matches versus Italian sides, drawing twice and losing six times. We’re backing them for another defeat here, with a 2-1 home win our correct score prediction.
