Match Preview – 19.45 Kick-Off at Stadio Adriatico, Pescara

With Napoli losing points at Sassuolo on Sunday, Roma can open a four-point gap in second place if they win at Pescara, and that is mightily important for the visitors in order to ensure the stop in the Champions League group stage. Roma will face Lazio, AC Milan and Juventus in their next fixtures, and thus taking the points at rock-bottom Pescara who have no chance of staying in Serie A is vital. It will be an emotional game for Pescara coach Zdenek Zeman who had two spells on Roma bench and is still in love with the club, but he is unlikely to stop them this time. Pescara only won once all season, and they have started preparations for life in Serie B already.

Pescara vs Roma Predictions

Roma approach the game at Pescara in great form – they won eight out of the last 10 Serie A fixtures, only losing to Napoli in the process. Roma have no problems against the teams from the bottom half of the table this season, and most of their wins are rather straightforward. Importantly, Roma had the lead at half-time in all of their last eight wins, and that is expected to be the case against Pescara as well, with the odds extremely inviting at 1.66. Interestingly, Roma won both halves in all of their last four wins, which makes the odds on such an event look remarkably good at 2.25.
