Brighton vs Roma Betting Tips: BTTS / Over 2.5 Goals
Brighton, lagging behind by four goals from the first leg in Rome last week, will require a small miracle to overturn this situation in the round of sixteen match in the Europa League.
Goals by Paulo Dybala, Romelu Lukaku, Gianluca Mancini, and Bryan Cristante at the renowned Stadio Olimpico resulted in a dismal evening for the Seagulls.
Following their defeat in Rome last Thursday, Brighton recovered with a slim 1:0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Sunday. The Seagulls had previously suffered three consecutive losses before their strenuous triumph on Sunday.
Roma are travelling to England with a seven-game unbeaten streak, following a thrilling 2:2 draw with Fiorentina on Sunday. I Giallorossi seems to have bounced back following Jose Mourinho’s exit, with four wins and three draws under their belt. They have also scored an impressive total of 18 goals during these unbeaten matches.
When Roma is playing away, goals are typically anticipated. Daniele De Rossi’s team has seen both teams score (BTTS) in six out of their last seven away games. Furthermore, at least three goals were scored in six of the seven games.
The AMEX has also consistently been a dependable location for those pursuing goals this season. In Brighton’s last 22 home games, both teams scored (BTTS) in 18 of them. I anticipate this trend will continue on Thursday.
Roberto de Zerbi’s team will undoubtedly aim to deliver a strong performance in what is likely their last match of their inaugural European campaign. I anticipate that the hosts will reclaim some dignity in what should be an engaging competition.
I fancy BTTS and over 2.5 goals with Brighton also tipped to score a couple against a still vulnerable Roma defence.

With Roma virtually guaranteed a spot in the quarter-finals, head coach De Rossi may alter his team selection. Nicola Zalewski is a probable candidate for a return to the starting XI.
