AS Roma VS Real Madrid

Roma have gone 14 matches across all competitions without a single defeat, notching 2 wins and 3 draws in their most recent 5 outings. They sit near the top of the Serie A table with 4 wins and 2 draws from the opening 6 rounds, and played out a 1-1 away draw against Fenerbahce in their first Champions League fixture. Their recent form has started to wobble though: they were held to a goalless away draw by Como in their latest Serie A tie, and key striker Malen is suspended after picking up a red card, which has noticeably weakened their attacking output. As for Real Madrid, they have claimed 8 wins and 2 losses across their last 10 matches in all competitions, with 4 wins and 1 loss in their past 5. They edged past Serie A powerhouse Inter Milan 2-1 at home in the opening Champions League match, and followed that up with a 1-0 home La Liga win over Villarreal. The side boasts a fierce attack that averages 2 goals per game, but their away form is far from consistent: across their last 4 road trips, they have posted 2 wins and 2 losses, conceding an average of 1 goal per away match.
