AS Roma vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction 30.01.2025 | Europa League

• Competition: Europa League
• Date: Thursday, 30th January, 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Stadio Olimpico (Rome)

AS Roma have been between fifth and seventh place in Serie A in the last six seasons, constantly failing to secure the Champions League. They tried adding different coaches but failed to find success in that department. However, they had good Europa League and Conference League runs. This season, they really looked terrible throughout the year, but with the arrival of Claudio Ranieri, they started playing a lot better. Right now, they are in 9th place with 30 points in 22 matches - six away from the European spots and with one game played more. When it comes to the EL, Roma won nine points in seven rounds and are only one point away from the dropping from the 1/16 Finals spots. So, they desperately need points against Frankfurt in order to secure the next phase of the competition.

Eintracht Frankfurt have been mostly in the upper half of the Bundesliga in recent seasons, securing Europe in four consecutive seasons. In 2021/22, they even managed to secure the EL title - in the same year when AS Roma won the Conference League title! This season, the Eagles are doing a fantastic job in the EL, as they are sitting in 2nd place with 16 points from seven rounds. However, they need at least one point in this game to secure the 1/8 Finals and avoid playing an extra duel. And in the Bundesliga, the Eagles are doing great, as they are currently third with 37 points from 19 matches - a comfortable five points above from 5th placed RB Leipzig.

AS Roma vs Eintracht Frankfurt pick: Both teams to score

AS Roma are playing well. Their only loss in the last eight games was against AZ Alkmaar, but away from home. At Stadio Olimpico, AS Roma are playing great and have won six in a row, so scoring a goal is a pretty real scenario. However, we cannot say they have been fantastic defensively, considering they only had one clean sheet in the last six matches in all competitions.

Eintracht Frankfurt won four of the last five games while scoring 11 goals - 2.2 per game. If we look further back, they have scored at least one goal in 27 out of 29 games this season - 93%! So, we expect them to score in this match against AS Roma as well.

Both teams are in good form, and considering all the above, we expect an exciting game with both teams scoring.
