Aston Villa vs Roma Preview

After defeats to Walsall and Hansa Rostock, Villa steadied the ship with a win over St. Louis City and an exciting 2-2 draw against MLS side Nashville. With just a couple of friendlies left before the Premier League opener against Newcastle, Emery will be hoping for sharper defending and a more complete performance from his team.

On the other hand, Roma arrive in England riding the wave of a pre-season that’s been flawless so far. Under new boss Gian Piero Gasperini, the Giallorossi are yet to concede a goal across four warm-up matches. They’ve comfortably dispatched Serie D side UniPomezia, Kaiserslautern, Cannes and Lens in their four friendly matches so far.

Aston Villa vs Roma Over/Under Predictions

Total Goals Over 2.5 @ -155 as per BetMGM

Aston Villa have been involved in high-scoring games lately. Aston Villa’s last four friendly matches have all gone over 2.5 goals, while Roma have scored 6 goals in their last three encounters. Given both teams’ attacking potential, I see goals in this one.

Given the open nature of the pre-season games of both teams, over 2.5 goals seems a likely outcome. Both teams have shown the ability to score, supported by their recent performances.
