Galatasaray vs Roma Women predictions: A high-scoring affair
Key stats
- Twelve of Galatasaray's last 14 matches went above the 2.5-goal mark.
- Four goals were scored on average in AS Roma's last seven games.
- Both teams were on the scoresheet in 10 of AS Roma's last 11 matches across all competitions.
- Roma have lost only once in their last 14 games (W10, D3).
Correct score prediction: Galatasaray 1-3 Roma
Galatasaray are coming off back-to-back losses in which they conceded five times. They are up against a Roma side that won 10 of their previous 14 games. All things considered, we are fairly confident that Galatasaray's losing run will continue on Thursday.
Pre-game odds and win probability: AS Roma are overwhelming favourites
- HOME:10/1 (11.00) – 9.1%
- DRAW:19/4 (5.75) – 17.4%
- AWAY:2/11 (1.18) – 84.6%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Roma suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Juventus last weekend, ending a 13-match unbeaten run in which they won 10 times. Alessandro Spugna's side will fancy their chances against an out-of-form Galatasaray side that has lost two consecutive matches without scoring a single goal.
With that in mind, Roma are the expected winners at 2/11 (1.18). Teams with these odds usually have an 84.6% probability of winning.
