Roma asks for a Tuesdays hit
The most interesting match of the Champions League Tuesday is certainly that in Group C between AS Roma and Chelsea FC. This is not least about the peak position in the table. At the moment, the Londoners are in the lead, they could fix the rise with a victory. The encounter in the Eternal City starts on October 31 at 8:45 pm.
Current form AS Roma
For the Roma is currently similar to that for group opponents Atlético Madrid. You can not fulfill your own requirements at the moment. The departure of successful coach Luciano Spalletti in the direction of Milan still hurts. Eusebio di Francesco has not shown any good performance, especially at the start of the season. The fact is, however, that the captains last showed a clearly rising shape curve. The last three matches in Serie A were all won, each with a narrow 1-0. Since the matchday two, the Roma have lost only one Ligaspiel, but this against the SSC Naples. More than one conceding has been conceded in the league only this season, against Inter Milan 3-1. The showpiece of the Romans is certainly the defensive. Anyone who does not concede in seven out of eleven championship matches and only holds on to five loss goals after that must have done something right in this area. But fact is: All five conceded goals in the league had to accept the di Francesco-Elf in front of their own audience, has also only scored one more goal here than in a foreign country. Both season finals were also cashed in home games. Although they are still unbeaten in the Champions League group stage, they have only won the away game against Qarabag, who narrowly lost 2-1. Sovereignty looks different – on all lines and in all competitions. Moreover, the Italians often make too little of their chances. In the 1-0 win against Crotone on matchday ten, there were about no fewer than five very good opportunities, in the end, a hit decided the encounter. This match against FC Bologna last weekend, where again only one of five very good chances were scored. Dangerous showed against the club from the famous university city, especially from the second row. Even at high balls, the Roma was a power, won no less than 62 percent of the header duels. In contrast, we saw problems in the controlled construction game, where you could not cope with the aggressive nature of the guests, had to record many ball losses. Strong in the match: goalscorer Edin Dzeko and left-back Aleksandar Kolarov, accordingly, it can be assumed that on Tuesday again many attacks on the left side will be presented. In the first leg these two players were responsible for all three hits of their team. Important for the morale: Roma were able to convert a 0: 2 back into a lead, in the end there was a 3: 3 draw.
Current form Chelsea FC
FC Chelsea can not keep up with the top teams of the domestic Premier League. Manchester United have already scored four, while Manchester United have nine points behind. A psychological advantage for the Londoners: they are the last team to score a goal against the Roma. However, at the Stamford Bridge they were the weaker team in many respects, and in contrast to the Italians (7) could only score four shots on goal. As far as efficiency is concerned, Antonio Conte does not have anything to offer. Three hits from four shots on the goal are hard to beat. In contrast, the pass rate was expandable with 78 percent, also could only decide 40 percent of the header duels for themselves. Given the strength of the Roma in this respect – especially with standards – a clear disadvantage for Tuesday. In the offensive, the Londoners currently have a lot of trouble with Eden Hazard. Not only did the Belgian superstar score the late equalizer in the first leg, he was also the one who scored his only goal of the weekend against AFC Bournemouth (1-0). Strengths at Chelsea we definitely see over the wings. The two defenders Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta have already scored two and one hit, the latter prepared no less than four hits. It is also a fact that the personal situation in the “Blues” has recently relaxed somewhat. Only Kanté and Victor Moses are injured will not be available. The results in the past, however, were mixed. Although they celebrated before the win against Bournemouth a 4-2 win against Watford, before there were, however, defeats against bottom bracket Crystal Palace (1-2) and Manchester City (0-1). Three of the last six games have not been won and the match with Manchester United is on the agenda this weekend. It is also no secret that English teams have a strong international influence. Strengths we see in Chelsea especially in the Passport, defensively, too, Bournemouth was admitted very little. It was dangerous, as did the Roma, for distance shots. In general, we see the playing facilities of the two opponents as very similar. But the fact is that Chelsea have won twice as many wins at home (in the Premier League) as they did at home, scored more and lost less. In addition, the last three CL games have always scored at least three goals.
PREDICTION: DRAW @ 3.60
