Siena vs Roma Match preview

Italy - Serie A: Siena vs Roma

Roma had a “wonderful” time in Siena last year and the 3-0 loss probably still hurts. They are entering this game ready to start winning in series. Triumphs over Atalanta in Serie A and against Bordeaux in Champions League have made them regain their confidence. In the words of Luciano Spalleti it was all in the players’ heads who were trailing at the interval but ever since Vucinic scored a different team was seen on the turf. It is a pathway towards the top after what the bad start will not be mentioned any more. Siena were beaten in Udine, difference in quality was obvious, they have conceded two goals, managed to get back in the game, but it was expected they would lose the game. If you remember our preview for this game we said t would be hard for Toscanini to deal with the offensive power Udinese have and that one goal at Friuli will not prevent them from losing that game. That is the way it happened, although there were some positive things in Siena’s performance in the second interval. It may be a recipe for beating weaker opponents.

Siena with four points from home fixtures

They have defeated Cagliari and drew with Sampdoria. Against the team from Genoa, it was obvious they were pleased with a point. They had a clean sheet and Giampaolo will probably try to use the same aggressive and offensive play to disturb Roma’s line. Although his team is weaker than last year, Siena are brave and look more of a team now than they did then. We were a bit skeptical about their chances to survive the season but we also pointed out they have the excellent manager. There is no doubt that Giampaolo brings the best out of these boys, but he will still have to boost his team in January. Defense is inexperienced, goals conceded in Lecce and Udine are suggesting defense is a bit slow, center-backs in particular.

Roma had a great half time in France

They were trailing against Bordeaux, but still managed to get back in the game. Spalletti reached out for his old 4-2-3-1 formation and turned over the game. However, the Romans gained a lot after Henrique got sent off, but when Baptista came on and thanks to Vucinic’s fine performance (finally), manager can be pleased. Result from Cluj where Chelsea drew with the hosts is also in their favor and, now Roma are only a point behind the leading duo. As the season is going on, we should expect for Roma to get back on track, they are slowly completing the lines and that is very important. The impression is that the worst is gone, with all the failures, Roma are only five points behind the leading Lazio and only two behind Milan and Juventus. If the yget on the run, they will have fine chances for the top.

Betting verdict

Roma’s win is worth around 2.00 and to be honest we won’t risk with those odds. Before the last season’s shipwreck, they usually didn’t have problems beating Siena. We suggest you try over 2.5. Spalletti’s side will attack, waiting is not an option when Roma are playing. We also believe that Siena can score as well. Two sides traditionally score a lot of goals whether at Olimpico or at Franchi. The odds for over 2.5 are good and this is certainly one of the better bets of the 6th round of Serie A.
