On Wednesday evening at 8.45 pm the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals between Barcelona and Rome will be staged. Favorite hosts at the turn of the turn. The Giallorossi will have to perform a real sporting miracle.

Barcelona come to this match after 2-2 in Liga against Sevilla. Decisive for the result Lionel Messi, took over from the bench in the second half. The Argentinian flea scored the draw goal in the minutes of recovery. Against the Giallorossi will play the titolarissimi, with Messi that will find space in the attack trio together with Suarez and Dembelè. In the last sixteen they eliminated Chelsea (1-1 in London and 3-0 in the Camp Nou). In the last 13 home games the Catalans suffered only two goals.
Even Roma comes to this delicate meeting with a draw in the league. The Giallorossi were stopped on 1-1 from Bologna, but remain in third place in the standings.

Barcelona-Roma Prediction

For this Champions League match we suggest the hosts’ victory, followed by Over 2.5. The meeting, at least on paper, is one-way in favor of the Catalans. However, their defense, lately, is giving more than necessary and Rome must be able to exploit those few distractions that will have the team of Valverde. A goal at the Camp Nou could keep the Giallorossi alive, waiting for the match against the Olimpico.
