Real Madrid against AS Roma in Wednesday’s Champions League game
Real Madrid knows that scoring a couple goals on the road will take all of the pressure off of the return trip to the Bernabeu in a couple weeks. Real Madrid are the odds favorites to take the big lead in this series. Real Madrid might be the third best team in La Liga right now, but may be one of the top favorites to win the Champions League. AS Roma is going to need a win in this match to have any chance of advancing to the last eight against one of the best teams in the world. The soccer match between AS Roma and Real Madrid is scheduled to take place at 2:45 p.m. ET on Wednesday, February 17, 2016 at Stadio Olimpico. The game will be televised live on FOX Sports 1.
AS Roma has won four matches in a row and seems to be in it’s best form of the season. This is good heading into a soccer match of this type of magnitude . Roma isn’t going to win Serie A this year, but the wins put the team back in control to reach the Champions League next year. Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has played well of late which is the main reason why Roma has been in top form.
Real Madrid claimed its third straight match in strong form on Saturday against Athletic Bilbao. Real madrid haven’t been beaten in a fixture since December 13. Winger Gareth Bale is important for a soccer game like this one. Forward Cristiano Ronaldo and striker Karim Benzema can do plenty of damage up front. These two players have combined for 40 goals this year. Both teams may end up getting on the board in this soccer match, but we give the edge to the Real Madrid over AS Roma in this one.
