Roma v Porto Betting Tips [20 February 2025]

FC Porto and Roma are set to meet for the return leg of their Europa League knockout play-off clash this Thursday. Heading into this match, hosted by Roma, these two sides are tied at 1-1 from the first leg. We have a prediction for this match from which the aggregate winner will face Athletic Bilbao or Lazio.

Roma led in the opening leg in Portugal but in the end had to cling on after finishing with 10 men after Bryan Cristante was sent off.

They followed up on the draw with a 1-0 win over Parma in Serie A, and come here unbeaten in three matches.

Porto had Francisco Moura to thank for the equalizer after Mehmet Celik’s opening goal in the first leg. They will, however, regret not killing off the tie even after playing with a man advantage for the final 18 minutes.

That result marked a third straight draw for the Portuguese giants but they returned to winning ways over the weekend. They claimed a 1-0 win at Farense in the Primeira Liga, taking their run of unbeaten matches to six.

In that streak though, Porto managed just two wins. That’s also all they have in the last 10 matches. In 16 away Europa League matches, Porto have just two wins.

The last time FC Porto visited Roma, they ended up losing 2-1. They will hope for a more positive outcome this time but their away record isn’t really great. In 16 away matches in the Europa League, Porto managed just two wins. 

They haven't won a lot in their recent matches either. The Portuguese giants face a side that’s unbeaten in the last eight matches at home, winning seven. Our prediction for Roma v Porto is for Roma to win.
