Barcelona vs Roma Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Steve Ashfield | in Champions League Predictions
Barcelona trailed to Sevilla at the weekend but a late goal from Lionel Messi got them a 2-2 draw as they march onto the La Liga title. it's possible that three of the last four in the Champions League could come from the Spanish league and Barcelona are odds on favourite to be one of them. The draw at Valencia took their unbeaten run to 17 games in all competitions and the last three losses in their previous 49 games have been in the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup. At home, Barcelona have kept four straight clean sheets and in 11 of their last 13. The stats continue to be frightening as they haven't lost a home Champions League game since 2013 and they have scored at least twice in 15 of their last 16 home Champions League matches.
All those stats are enough to make Roma wonder if it's worth making the trip to Barcelona but shocks can happen, not that that's going to be my tip. Roma are third in Serie A and battling to confirm a place in the Champions League for next season. They are unbeaten in their last five games but have had problems on the road in the Champions League this season with only one win in five games. It was a close battle in the last sixteen and they only beat Shakhtar Donetsk on away goals. They won't want a repeat of their last Champions League visit to Barcelona in 2015 when they lost 6-1 but defeat is the way this is going to go and it'll be Barcelona who get the win leading at half and full time.

Our Barcelona vs Roma Prediction
Barcelona are hot favourites to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League and rightly so. They are on a long unbeaten run and it's five years since they last lost a home Champions League game. Their opponents have a poor away record in the Champions League with only one win in their last 14 games. Everything points to Barcelona winning and leading at half and full time as they have done in 10 of their 14 home La Liga games this season.
