AS Roma looked pretty well against Milan a week ago. They managed to take a lead in the first half despite playing on the road, moreover Roma's forward Francesco Totti had a great chance to double the lead but failed to score in the beginning of the second half. It was Milan that scored two goals later on and won the match. This time Roma should have a better match as they will face one of the weakest teams in Seria A - Novara. Novara stands second from the bottom of the table and has lost 10 from 14 on the road with the goal difference 10-25. In the latest match they failed to score a goal against one of the weakest defending teams Lecce so they will probably will once again finish the match with no goals scored as Roma is solid in defense at home. Also Roma scored 26 goals in 14 home matches this season so I wait for at least couple of goals from them and this should be enough to beat the handicap.
