International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Roma and Real Betis are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
It's quite the trip for Real Betis when visiting Roma as the cities are 2300 kilometers apart.
The visiting Real Betis played their last game only four days ago, a La Liga match. That game was also an away game, at Celta de Vigo. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Roma form and stats
Roma was eliminated in the semi-finals last season in the Europa League. Manchester United was too strong.Roma must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Serie A games here at Stadio Olimpico.
It's back home for Roma, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Inter away with the result 2-1. Smalling and Dybala found the net in that victory. Smalling, defender, was given a rating of 7.43/10 in that game, top of the team. Smalling scored one goal and won 3 of 5 duels.
Ahead of that match, Roma lost 0-1 at home to Atalanta.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Lecce in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadio Olimpico.
Roma are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. As for guarding their own goal, Roma have only let in 1 goal at home.
Real Betis form and stats
Betis was sent out of Europa League in the round of 16 last season, when Eintracht Frankfurt turned out to be too strong.Real Betis are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the La Liga, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).
There might be some fixture complaints from Real Betis as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-1 against Celta de Vigo. González was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.64. The defender González won 10 of 11 duels.
Before that, Real Betis secured a home win against Girona with the score 2-1.Real Betis are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The La Liga trip to Real Valladolid.
As opposed to that, Betis have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
