Brighton vs Roma Prediction & Match Preview

• Brighton are undefeated in eleven subsequent home matches across competitions.
• Three or more goals were scored in all of Roma’s last nine Serie A affairs.
• La Lupa will not necessarily chase another win after a 4-0 victory in the first leg at Stadio Olimpico.

Roma have killed any kind of drama in a potentially exciting round-of-16 matchup against Brighton. La Lupa celebrated a demolishing 4-0 victory in the first leg seven days ago at Stadio Olimpico. They will carry a four-goal advantage into the return game on Thursday evening on English soil.

Roma have generally grown in both form and confidence ever since Daniele De Rossi took over Jose Mourinho on the bench. La Lupa have suffered just one loss in eleven competitive outings since. It came at the hands of sovereign Serie A leaders Inter Milan last month. Roma extended their series of positive results thanks to Diego Llorente whose 95th-minute leveller rescued them a point in a 2-2 stalemate at Fiorentina on Sunday.

Brighton bounced back from a humiliating Europa League defeat by beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 at home on Sunday afternoon. The win over the Reds ended the Seagulls’ three-loss thread across competitions. Roberto De Zerbi’s troops moved up to 8th place in the Premier League standings as a consequence.

Recent Meetings

• This will only be the second head-to-head encounter between Brighton and Roma.
• Roma outclassed the Seagulls 4-0 seven days ago in the first leg in Italian capital.

Brighton vs Roma Prediction

Brighton were one of the most pleasant surprises in the previous term of the Premier League. They have dropped a level this year, though. The Seagulls lack consistency. They lost three of the last four matches across competitions. That said, Roberto De Zerbi’s troops do play much better at home than on the road this season. The Seagulls are unbeaten in eleven consecutive games on the home patch in all competitions. Since Roma have practically finished the job seven days ago in Rome, we don’t expect the visitors to necessarily chase another victory on English soil. Brighton have a chance to fix the impression and we will back them to do so with a win at the 1.85 odds.

It is always wise to back goals in Brighton’s matches. We are particularly interested in this pick in their clash against Roma. The Romans have been scoring at will under Daniele De Rossi in the last several weeks. Three or more goals were scored in all of Roma’s previous nine outings across competitions. You can back the Over 2.5 goals FT bet at the 1.61 odds.
