AS Roma’s unproven bench

Given the busy schedule, rotation is to be expected from Mourinho. But when the wider squad players have been given space this season, especially in the Europa League, it has been no mean feat. On the other hand, it is much easier to rotate at home.

Cremonese unreliable shooting

Mourinho is renowned for his meticulous defensive tactics, plus Cremonese’s attack alternates better games with worse ones. It has scored more than once in only two of its past six games, coming up completely empty twice.

Betting tip – 2nd half result – AS Roma

AS Roma are not at ease in terms of results or performance, so I expect the conquest to take some time. For this reason, I think Roma will win the second half. For the more adventurous, I have a tip for an exact 1:0 first half scoreline, because if AS strike, they won’t be going anywhere. At the same time, Mourinho’s defensive record is legendary, Cremonese are a second league side, a clean sheet should be a given for Mourinho.
