Manchester City vs AS Roma

Home - Manchester City
Last away matches - W-L-D-W-L-W

Samir Nasri has undergone groin surgery that will rule him out for over a month, while Fernando will not be ready for the midweek encounter. However, Stevan Jovetic is in line to return for Manuel Pellegrini.If we talk about last 5 games then it becomes apparent that Manchester City is struggling to do anything on the field. A loss to Stoke city and another loss to Bayern Munich are in last 5 games while they also have 2 draw against Arsenal and Chelsea. Although their match up was against some strong clubs but a loss to Stoke was terrible performance from them. The only good news for them is they are coming into this match after thrashing Hull City by 4-2. Although their offense seemed pretty good but their defense was very poor in comparison. They will be the underdog in this match but they have equal chance of winning this match as Roma.

Away - AS Roma
Last away matches - W-W-W-W-W-W

Roma coach Rudi Garcia has his own injury problems to deal with; Daniele De Rossi is the latest high-profile casualty at the Stadio Olimpico, joining the likes of Juan Iturbe, Kevin Strootman and Davide Astori on the sidelines.Roma on the other hand is undefeated in their last 5 matches. They found the back of opponents net 9 times in these games while allowing only 1 goal from the opponents. Their offense and defense looked solid and they were very positive on the field showing that they are here to win. As the home team they have also got the home field advantage and home support cheering for them. No matter how someone looks at this, Roma is still the favorites to win this game.
