African TipsMan United vs AS Roma Prediction: Tips and Betting Preview
Manchester United
AS RomaManchester United host AS Roma at Old Trafford on Tuesday, 3 November, kick-off 20:00 UTC, in the Champions League. The English side is going through a poor run of results, while the Italians arrive in much better form. In this Man United vs AS Roma preview, we look at form, the head-to-head record and the absentees before giving our tip.
Form: United in crisis, Roma on the rise
Manchester United have not won in a long time. Their recent sequence is a defeat, a draw and three straight defeats. In the Champions League they sit 21st out of 36 teams, with three points from three games, and their last European outing was a 4-1 loss at Como.
Roma are in a very different place. In their last five matches they have won four times, with the sequence win, win, draw, win, win. Before this game they won 5-2 away at Udinese and 4-2 at home to Cagliari. Donyell Malen is their main attacking threat, with eight goals in Serie A and three in the Champions League.
Head-to-head: United strong at home
Most databases count eight meetings, with five wins for United, two for Roma and one draw. United have won all four home games against the Romans. The last meeting came in 2021, in the Europa League semi-final: United won 6-2 at Old Trafford, Roma replied with a 3-2 win in Rome, but the English side still progressed to the final.
In the Champions League in 2007 and 2008, the ties were closer. United won 7-1 at Old Trafford, and Roma drew 1-1 in Rome, a game that stayed open until the final whistle.
Team news: absentees on both sides
United have several absentees. Benjamin Šeško, Manuel Ugarte, Luke Shaw and Patrick Dorgu are listed as injured. Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo are doubts, but sources do not agree on their availability, so check the starting XI before kick-off.
Roma are also missing key players. Goalkeeper Mile Svilar, midfielder Manu Koné and Paulo Dybala are unavailable through injury, and Lorenzo Pellegrini is listed as absent in one of the previews.
What to expect on the pitch
Neither side has been keeping clean sheets. United have scored five and conceded six in three Champions League games, and Roma have conceded in their last three matches. We expect a United side keen to attack, especially at home, but a Roma team on a positive run should not fold easily.
Our prediction
Our pick is double chance, Manchester United or draw, at 1.32. The bet wins if United win or the game ends level, which covers the scenario we consider most likely for a side in crisis playing at home. We are not backing a straight United win because Roma are in much better form and can score. A price of 1.32 requires discipline and does not guarantee a profit, so bet responsibly.
Every pick lands in the channel first — singles, accas and live bets.
