AS Roma - Brighton Prediction
It's a match between two fairly evenly matched teams; however, they are currently in different forms. Roma, since the arrival of De Rossi, has won six out of eight matches. Brighton, on the other hand, has failed to win in their last three matches, losing their last two. Considering that this game will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and the current form of both teams, I'll bet on Roma's victory at odds of 2.1.
