Roma vs Real Madrid UEFA Champions League Tips & Prediction
Roma haven't lost at home inside 90 minutes since January and the Italian side are tipped to hold off Real Madrid when the two teams square off in a heavyweight Champions League showdown at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday night.
It's another reunion with an Italian club for Jose Mourinho after facing Inter on Matchday 1, with the Special One hoping to lead his Real side to all three points against Roma.
However, Real have struggled away from the Bernabeu this season, while they've also lost half of their last eight away trips in the Champions League.
Real were fortunate to beat Inter courtesy of two abysmal defensive mishaps, while they have lost to Betis and Atletico on the road recently in La Liga.
Not a convincing form line at all.
Roma are Inter's biggest challengers for the Serie A under the tutelage of Gian Piero Gasperini and they're currently riding a 14-game unbeaten streak in all comps - including a 0-0 stalemate away to Como with 10 men on the weekend.
I'm taking Roma to secure at least a point at home and there's decent value on a share of the spoils in the H2H market. Arda Guler is always lively for Real and is backed to fire off two shots as the main player prop.

Roma Form Analysis
Great start to the season for Roma - they've gone unbeaten across their six Serie A games, winning four to be sitting in third spot on the ladder, two points behind leaders Inter.
However, Roma would feel like they could easily be top of the table - they squandered a 2-0 first-half lead over Inter before the break after Manu Kone's double, while Donyell Malen was sent off in last weekend's 0-0 stalemate away to Como.
Roma couldn't get their Champions League campaign off to a winning start after being held to a 1-1 draw away to Fenerbahce on Matchday 1.
Roma Team News
After beginning the season with a brace & hat-trick, Malen has only managed one goal in his last five games. He will be suspended for Roma's upcoming Serie A games, but is available for this one.
Bryan Cristante missed the draw with Como and is racing the clock to be declared fit here.
Roma Possible Starting XI (3-4-2-1): Pierluigi Gollini; Gianluca Mancini, Evan Ndicka, Mario Hermoso; Nahuel Molina, Manu Kone, Marten de Roon, Wesley Gassova; Paulo Dybala, Matias Soule; Donyell Malen
Real Madrid Form Analysis
Not the ideal start to the season for Real, who are already six points behind rivals Barcelona after eight games in La Liga.
Away form remains an issue for Los Blancos - they lost to Betis and Atletico before the break, while they weren't at their best in a 1-0 home win over Villarreal this past weekend, with Vini Jr's struggles continuing after he was awarded a red card.
Mourinho's side capitalised on two defensive errors from Inter to secure a 2-1 win on Matchday 1, but they were outplayed for large portions of the game.
Real Madrid Team News
Vini Jr is available to play in this one - he has 26 Champions League assists, one shy of Cristiano Ronaldo's all-time record in this competition for Real.
Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Guler and Bernardo Silva are all able to return from UEFA bans, along with Dean Huijsen, who has served his domestic ban.
Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy, Rodrygo and Raul Asencio remain in the casualty ward.
Real Madrid Possible Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Thibaut Courtois; Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konate, Antonio Rudiger, Alvaro Carreras; Federico Valverde, Bernardo Silva; Arda Guler, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior; Kylian Mbappe
Verdict
Roma are backed to avoid defeat at home, with value on a draw.
