Roma vs. Slavia Prague Betting Tips: Lukaku to continue his impressive European form

Mourinho’s men find themselves playing another important European game, this time against Slavia Prague. Both of these teams are tied on six points in their group and a win for either side could see them run away with Group G. We’ve picked out two bets for the action that we think represent some decent value.

Romelu Lukaku has been on fire for his new club Roma. He has now scored seven goals in nine games for the Italian giants, a goal every 99 minutes. Lukaku has always been a prolific scorer wherever he plays and this time is no difference. 

The quality of football is definitely lower in the Europa League than Lukaku is used to and with that in mind, he should be thriving in this competition. He already has two in two for Roma in the Europa League and with him being priced at 11/8 to get another goal on his record, it’s hard to ignore.

People have often criticised Lukaku for ‘going missing’ against the big teams, but against the teams that he should be beating, he’s likely to be on the scoresheet. Roma are big favourites to win this one and are below even money to do so, expect them to have a lot of the ball and create the most chances with Lukaku likely to be on the end of them.

Next up we’ve taken a look at the player to be carded market and picked out one striker we think has a good chance of being booked.

Muhamed Tijani is known for his aggressive style of play, often engaging in tough tackles and physical duels with his opponents, this can be seen in the stats as he’s currently leading the way for fouls per game in the Slavia Prague squad with an average of two per game in the Europa League this season. 

Despite playing as a forward for the team he’s not shy of putting a foot in for a challenge and that has resulted in him receiving a yellow card in the sole game he’s played in the Europa League this season.

He’s a solid price to be carded at 7/2 with SkyBet and we’ll be taking that as one of our bets for this game. That’ll do us for this match, for those following along, best of luck and please make sure to gamble responsibly.
