One of the 2 nd legs of 1/16 finals of the Europa League consists of Roma, Italy and Villarreal, Spain. The match will be held in Italy on the 23 rd of February and will start at 20:00 (GMT+2).
This 2 nd leg doesn’t possess any tournament value. Roma has destroyed Villarreal during the first match. Džeko became the author of a hat trick and one more goal has been scored by Emerson. Nevertheless, statistics demonstrate the full equality of the teams – 50% of possession and 7 shots on target.
Despite the lack of motivation, Roma has to win this match. The team of Spalletti now has a winning streak of 11 home matches and is not going to break it. Villarreal won’t really be able to break it.
There
are no doubts that Roma will win. Villarreal has already left the
battle and it is possible that the second team will be playing. In
our opinion the best bets on the match Roma-Villarreal will be:
Roma
to win
1.75
Roma to win with the handicap (-1) 2.23
