A.S. Roma vs FC Red Bull Salzburg Prediction 23 February 2023

The current winner of the Conference League, Roma, will host a tough Salzburg in the Europa League round of 32 match.

Under the leadership of Mourinho, Roma have become a very pragmatic team, as evidenced by their recent meetings with Empoli (2-0), Lecce (1-1) and Verona (1-0) in Serie A. While the Giallorossi are fourth in the domestic arena , back in autumn they took second place in the Europa League quartet with Betis, Ludogorets and HJK.

Theoretically, Salzburg could have made it to the Champions League play-offs for the second time in a row, but in the end they finished only third in the company of Chelsea, Milan and Dinamo Zagreb. Which, however, does not cancel the hegemony of the Red Bulls in the Austrian league, where after a 3-1 win against Swarovski they are six points ahead of their closest competitor.

Last week, Salzburg earned a one-goal advantage, but in Italy we will see a completely different Roma - more aggressive and willing to confirm their status as the pair's favorite. We predict the local success of the hosts at least in regular time.
