I think you're overvaluing Brighton. Roma's performances, especially under De Rossi, show they're different. A solid Roma team makes it unlikely that Brighton can do the impossible. They've proved they dont concede easily, let alone by that much. I get your desire for a miraculous win, but its more dream than reality. In this environment, betting on Brighton seems pointless. Trust me, I've seen enough football to spot a long shot.

Consider whats at risk. Roma plays to dominate, not simply survive. Even if Brighton wins by a few goals, the aggregate score is too high. Instead of worrying about implausible outcomes, enjoy the game for what it is—a chance to watch teams perform under pressure. Roma will win, and Im here for the fun, not a Brighton comeback.

In my opinion there is nothing to worry about because Ac Milan is already on the verge of safety in tomorrow's match because of their 4-2 win in the first leg, so in my opinion Stefano Pioli doesn't need to prepare an accurate strategy in the second leg match because the players know what What you have to do is defend is a good thing in this match because it has brought AC Milan out as the winner, at least saving strategy for future important matches and the stamina of the players because there are still many matches that AC Milan has to play this week to host Verona and Fiorentina, namely their main focus after this match is over.

2 goals in a numerical advantage do not make this match easy,
Slavia Prague had quite positive historical results when hosting the Italian team.
Milan needs to mark all players, close all lines, all players must run to the max,
and players must train themselves to take free kicks well.
Milan must not make the same mistakes as in the first leg, their defense was so fragile that they conceded two goals.
Let's see, tomorrow will be a dark night or a glorious night in Milan's history.

That's exactly the mistakes coaches make because they tend to feel some certain amount of goals scored during the first win gives you an advantage where as making them feel relaxed and also feel the need to rest some players but sometimes this tactics can be dangerous because it might just come back and haunt you although it's very rare to see a team come back from a four nil victory but what do I know, I mean it's football and anything can happen.

Nobody cares on whoever wins the match, because we all know that Roma have ready qualified to the next round. This is because they were able to score up to four goals in the first leg, and Brighton was unable to find the back of the net all throughout the match. I will say that that match was Roman's last match that was played as first leg. It is impossible to Brighton that could not score one goal in Rome, to now score more than four goals, and Roma would not be able to score any goal. In today's match, Roma will score making it more difficult for Brighton.

In the first leg, AC Milan won the battle at home when they hosted the match against Slavia Prague with a score of 4-2. now, the match will be held at home to Slavia Prague. at the very least, as the home team they will go all out to try to provide resistance to AC Milan. theoretically, Milan is ahead on aggregate in the first leg. however, in this match, Milan must be careful when visiting Slavia Prague's headquarters at the Fortuna Arena. even though AC Milan actually has a big name, Slavia Prague is also quite good when playing their matches at their own headquarters. I'm sure this match will be quite tough, or maybe Slavia Prague will give you a surprise. after all, in football it is unique. Let's just make sure, when these two teams meet in the second leg early this morning.

Referring to the odds for these two teams, AC Milan is still the favorite even though they are playing away from home. as usual, Stefano Pioli will apply the same pattern and system. It seems, so does the home team. It seems that both teams will use the pattern, 4-2-3-1. Regarding the betting market, Slavia Prague with odds @3.20 and for AC Milan with odds @2.17. my guess is, this match will be quite exciting. choosing the +5 Slavia Prague handicap option is quite ideal for me with @1.71. at least, my estimate is that this match will end in a draw. or, the home team wins narrowly.

It's difficult to predict because Slavia Praha can perform even better when they have the advantage of playing at home, which also boosts the players' mentality to reach the aggregate gaps owned by Slavia Praha  vs. Acmilan. I'd like to remind you that if Slavia Praha ever beat Roma in the group stage, they did so with a pretty good score which is also proving his capability to beat the giant. This is a difficult game for Acmilan. Considering how strong Slavia praha is at home, I believe Milan should not underestimate it.

In terms of squad quality, Acmilan outperforms Prague. The main issue is whether Acmilan can perform better when it goes away against salvia praha. It's obvious that if Acmilan is being favored in the game, the last match in UCL told me to be cautious caused by comeback can happen anytime.
I don't care how big the odds are in this game, but I'm likely to choose the double chance option. The match between Intermilan and Atletico Madrid taught me not to always underestimate our opponents simply because they have weak stats in the local league.

Thanks for sharing the odds by bookies as well.  

Yes, Roma reached the finale while Mourinho was managing them and we don't know if De Rossi can do the same as well. However I just wanted to indicate Roma's success in the near history here. Besides this is the players' success at the same time. We can give another example like Real Madrid's winning Champions League titles with different coaches.

Maybe you can say Roma and Real Madrid aren't the same in terms of success rate but anyway.  

It was very unexpected when Brighton lost to Roma (0:4). Now the return game of these teams does not matter much anymore. It is unlikely that the Romans will lose as badly. But I still expect an interesting and entertaining game.  Brighton have nothing to lose and they will try to at least just win against the opponent, and Roma definitely does not want to lose. So, I think, in this match we should expect an exchange of goals.

No one expected such result from the first leg, the goal difference is just too much and the possibility of Brighton coming back to win the tie is very slim or rather almost impossible. I doubt if Brighton can pull off the stunt and shock everyone to qualify to the next round.

As Roma as been performing excellently ever since the sack of Jose Mourinho they have not lost a single match yet and Brighton on the other hand are struggling at the moment, they seem to have lost their confidence, they have only won 1 match in their last 4 games which is bad for a team like Brighton.

I don’t think they will qualify but i believe this time around they will give it a good fight and this time around the match will be interesting to some extent as they welcome Roma to England. There is a still a little possibility if they are determined enough although it will be difficult.

The aggregate 4-2 victory over Slavia did make AC Milan current position a little safe, but when facing a team that plays with only 10 players but Milan can concede 2 goals in the first leg, then of course it is worth watching out if Slavia will play with 11 people who actually also have the advantage of playing at home, I think with an aggregate of 2 goals it will be very risky if AC Milan tries to play defense in the match later,  Because from the experience in the first leg, AC Milan should be able to realize that Slavia also has an attack scheme that can overwhelm them.

The only option for Stefano Pioli in the match is to keep applying the balance in the formation he uses between attack and defense, namely the attacking scheme, to at least be able to find a better advantage in the second leg, but also Stefano Pioli must also pay attention and apply a better defensive scheme than the previous match so that Milan can at least prevent Slavia from making a surprise to reduce the aggregate goals in the match later.

I can just simply say you are somehow confused because there is no chance for Brighton to beat AS Roma in the second leg. Everyone knows that AS Roma has been playing very nicely under the coachship of De Rossi, but why doubt if Brighton will win today's game? It can’t be possible because the performance of AS Roma is not that poor that you will think they will lose up to four goals in a game. No, I don’t think that will be possible because you yourself know that AS Roma won’t play such a doomed game. 

So believing in that is the greatest mistake that you make if you really put the bet on Brighton to win the game, because even though they win today's match, they will still lose the game, so I won't even encourage you to place that bet that Brighton will win the game. 


You are predicting a game just based on your mind, which you are also not sure of. To me, I will say this game is so simple to bet on, which directly identifies that AS Roma will win the game. I know Brighton will come with a focused effort to win the game, but they also know to themselves that it won’t be possible to score such goals on AS Roma. That is just a fact, even though Brighton are playing a home game, and they know that they will put in more effort. All I think might happen is for the game to end at 3-2, and even with that, AS Roma will have almost 6 goals to 3 in aggregate, so I don’t see any opportunities for Brighton to win, so if you have any hope that Brighton will win the game, it will be so hard to happen. 

For Roma to lose by more than 4 goals, something must happen, for example a red card. And I don’t think that De Rossi will play in defense today, with his arrival Roma became an attacking team and if they were able to score 4 goals at home, then what’s stopping them from scoring at least one away? Brighton may win today, but the victory is unlikely to be enough to qualify for the next round. For Roma today the most important thing is to play in a disciplined manner without making big mistakes, and they will achieve the desired result.

With a 2 goal advantage, I also favor Ac Milan who will progress to the next round. Slavia Prague has home advantage. They have a good record at home this season. They will definitely play with high intensity and maybe a little aggressive. But I don't think they will be able to beat AC Milan with a 3 goal lead. Italian teams are famous for their excellent defensive play. But I don't think AC Milan will park the bus in front of its goal. They will continue to play attacking and target scoring goals in that match.

Even though there is always the word can in the game of football, it seems difficult for Brighton to catch up with too many goal deficits. Yes, I also think that Brighton will play all out with all their efforts, but they will not be able to score four goals to equalize. Roma is also not a team that is easily complacent, they will also maintain the aggregate instead of scoring more goals. Currently the condition of Danielle De Rossi's troops is in high confidence so they are very strong.

Right now it is like 1.79 - 4.30 - 4.00 so Brighton are still quite favoured for the win here.    Honestly I'm expecting to see a win by Brighton today. If you ask me why I expect such result I can say that I'm expecting De Rossi to rotate his usual lineup. Because they already have a 4-0 advantage and they have a Serie A game to play in only three days.

But when it comes to De Zerbi he doesn't need to do such thing. He can use his best players available as long time as possible because of not having any other game until the end of the month. I'm seriously thinking adding Brighton win to my parlay for now.

Stefano Pioli has analyzed Slavia Prague's strength and he has prepared the right strategy to secure a ticket to the next round. Even though Slavia Prague is predicted to go all out, the Rossoneri will not apply a defensive style to secure a goal deficit, but Pulisic and his friends will also continue to attack. I still favor Milan to qualify for the quarter-finals and they deserve to go further.

Yes, AC Milan really has to be careful in this match, because as you said, Slavia Prague will play with high intensity to make up for their deficit in the first leg and I am sure they will go all out in this match. AC Milan have to think in that direction but it shouldn't be a burden for them, because if it becomes a burden then they won't be able to escape in the game, and that's what's dangerous.
Playing carefully doesn't mean playing stiffly, they can play as usual but their concentration level must be increased again so they don't lose focus easily, and they also have to play as neatly as possible so they don't make unnecessary mistakes. They are already 2 goals ahead at the moment, this is a very good opportunity for them to qualify for the next round. Actually, they only need a draw to get through this round and hopefully they can do it very well. It would be very disappointing if they had to be comeback by Slavia Prague, it would be one of those painful matches that is not easy to forget.

Roma pocketed 4 aggregate scores and when the bookmakers gave small odds to Brighton for favoring this team, it was very natural because in the end Roma would still qualify for the next round.
It really makes sense regarding what you say, if we talk about victory, of course Brighton can win this match, but if we talk about the team that will qualify for the next round, of course Roma will successfully qualify.

logically it is impossible that Brighton will get 4 scores or 5 scores while Roma could score 1 score in the second leg and the result is that Roma will pocket 5 aggregate points and this means that Brighton will have to score 6 scores which is very impossible to achieve.
It's true what you said that the result now will be very random because whatever happens, the only guarantee of qualification is Roma and betting on this match is a bit risky, but Brighton will win by 3 scores. IMO

Although maybe Brighton will try to score lots of goals in today's match. But it won't be easy. Because we can see that apart from the Roma squad having improved in attack, in fact they have also increased in defensive strength. So Brighton might score a goal in today's match but I'm sure Roma will also score a goal against Brighton.

I see that there are several other teams that already have large aggregates that enable them to play in the second leg without big pressure. For example, Liverpool is also ahead with an aggregate of 5-1, and Marseille is also ahead with an aggregate of 0-4.
