Roma vs Slavia Prague tips and predictions: Lukaku to score in thumping win for Mourinho’s men

AS Roma and Slavia Prague will be opponents in round three of the Europa League group stage at Stadio Olimpico in Italy’s capital.

After two rounds, both teams have maximum points, with the team from the Czech Republic leaders on goal difference.

Slavia Prague won 2-0 against Servette in Geneva, then beat Sheriff Tiraspol 6-0 at home in Prague. However, they have not won in seven matches in Italy in UEFA competitions.

Roma defeated Tiraspol 2-1 away and then beat the Swiss team 4-0 at the Olimpico in the previous round.

Jose Mourinho's team is on a four-game winning streak in all competitions, during which they have conceded only one goal and scored 12.

Suggested bet: AS Roma to win

Despite having a one-man advantage for over a half, Roma had to wait until the 90th minute to score the winning goal against Monza, who they beat 1-0, last weekend.

Stephen El Shaarawy scored the match-winner on that occasion but Romelu Lukaku is still Roma's main attacking threat.

The Belgian forward has scored in six of Roma's last eight games in all competitions, netting a total of seven goals.

Suggested bet: Romelu Lukaku to score

Andrea Belotti has also stepped up in the absence of the injured Paulo Dybala and scored twice in his last Europa League appearance against Servette.

Suggested bet: Andrea Belotti to score

Slavia are in good shape before their trip to the Italian capital, as they are in second place in the league, two points behind their rivals Sparta Prague.

Jindrich Trpisovsky's team has gone unbeaten in their last nine games across all competitions.

They won seven of those matches, and in their most recent three games, Thursday’s visitors to Stadio Olimpico scored a total of 11 goals.

Suggested bet: Both teams to score
