Tottenham Hotspur vs AS Roma
European football comes to New Jersey on Wednesday in another top match with big characters. It’s a clash to look forward to for sure.
Roma and Spurs both have designs on their domestic leagues, having finished as runners-up last season, and they’ll have plenty of support from online betting fans again this year. This game at the Red Bull Arena is a good test for two well-matched teams and betting odds will reflect that.
Spurs haven’t played a competitive match since their 7-1 destruction of Hull City in the Premier league last May. But Roma matched PSG in their opening ICC match last week, only to be beaten on penalties.
One player the fans will all hope to see is Roma’s Radja Nainggolan. Eusebio Di Francesco knows he has a rough diamond in his combative midfielder, capable of dominating the opposition, turning matches on their head and scoring spectacular goals.
With his neck tattoos and Mohican hair, the Belgian international is every inch the warrior and is coveted by big teams throughout Europe, including Manchester United. If Roma are to challenge again in Serie A, then they must do everything they can to keep Nainggolan. With over 100 appearances for the Rome side since his arrival in 2014, he has an impressive goal ratio of one in five and a knack for breaking up opposition attacks.
Spurs have their own tough guy in speedy wingback Kieran Trippier, and he is fully aware of the importance of this game, saying: “These are teams we want to play against to progress in the Premier League. We’re only going to get better by playing teams like Roma.
“We’ll obviously go out and try to win.”
