Football Predictions for Roma v Man City

 

After becoming the most expensive British player in history, Raheem Sterling seems set to make his debut for Manchester City this morning as Manuel Pellegrini looks to follow on from his team's unremarkable 1-0 victory over Melbourne City last week. Pellegrini opted to start with several youngsters, no recognised strikers and City were nearly made to pay but for a last gasp Samir Nasri strike.
 


Opponents Roma had a far more testing opening match has they came up against Real Madrid. However, it was a good news for the Serie A runners up as they ruined Rafa Benitez's first match in charge with a 7-6 win on penalties following a 0-0 stalemate.

 

Today's clash will be the the third time the sides have met in the last year after being drawn in the same group in the Champions League last season. In their first encounter at The Etihad, the spoils were shared in a 1-1 draw. With City winning the second match 2-0 in the Stadio Olimpico to qualify for the last 16 at the expense of the Italian side.

 

Odds for the clash have Manchester City as marginal favourites at 5/4. Roma can be backed at 9/4, with the draw on offer at 13/5.

 

As always, a lot will depend on the team sheets as a full-strength City side should have too much for Roma, particularly if the likes of Raheem Sterling and Fabian Delph get the nod from the start. If Pellegrini opts for a mixture of youth and experience, I would expect the match to end all square for today’s football predictions.

 

Judging by the manner in which the Chilean approached the last match and Roma's fine result over Real Madrid, back the draw at 13/5 with Sky Bet along with under 2.5 goals at 11/10 with the same bookmaker for the first football betting tips today.


Finally, we dip our toes into the goalscoring market for our final Roma v Manchester City prediction. Due to the nature of friendlies, it's probably worth a punt on a first goalscorer over backing someone in 90 minutes and watching them get the hook at half-time. Pellegrini has already stated Raheem Sterling will play some minutes, and at 8/1 with Ladbrokes looks outstanding value to open the scoring.
