Roma vs Slovan Bratislava: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Roma vs Slovan Bratislava predicted formations

Roma host Slovan Bratislava at Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday, October 20 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).

No fresh absences are flagged for either side, so Roma should field their key men from the trip to Turkey: Paulo Dybala pulling the strings behind the front line, Donyell Malen leading the attack after 4 shots in the draw, and Bryan Cristante anchoring midfield after scoring in that game. Slovan Bratislava will lean on the form that has delivered goals already this season, with Suleiman Sanneh and Andraž Šporar both among the scorers and Cristian Martínez supplying the service from midfield.

Roma have 1 point from 1 game after drawing 1-1 at Fenerbahce, while Slovan Bratislava have 0 points and a goal difference of -5 after a 6-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in their only outing. That gulf in early form, allied to Slovan’s leaky record in Europe this term, points to goals at both ends rather than a shutout for Roma: Dybala and Malen carry enough craft up front, and Sanneh and Šporar are clinical enough to find the net at the other end.

    • Bryan Cristante (Roma): Scored in Roma’s 1-1 draw at Fenerbahce and played all 90 minutes of it, giving Roma a goal threat from deep midfield.
    • Paulo Dybala (Roma): Put 2 shots on target in the draw at Fenerbahce and remains Roma’s chief creative outlet behind the front line.
    • Suleiman Sanneh (Slovan Bratislava): Slovan’s top scorer with 3 goals and 7 shots so far, including 2 on target, with 1 assist to his name.

    Roma vs Slovan Bratislava Prediction

    Roma’s extra quality in the final third should be enough to see off Slovan Bratislava, who arrive with 0 points from 1 game and a goal difference of -5 to protect after their opening defeat. Expect goals at both ends before Roma’s class tells: 2-1 to the hosts, with Cristante again among the scorers and Slovan’s forwards making sure it is not a comfortable night.
