Edin Dzeko odds

Roma have the chance to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in a decade tonight.

But they’ll need to turn around their 2-1 first-leg loss against Shakhtar Donetsk to get there.

Roma will be full of confidence after wins over Napoli and Torino in their last two outings.

The Serie A side are big 8/13 favourites here. They’re 4/5 to qualify for the last eight.

We don’t expect any surprises from a Shakthar side that struggles away in Europe. The Ukrainian champions are 4/1 to win on the night. The draw is 3/1.

Roma took the lead when these two met in Kiev last month. You can get Roma to be leading after 30 minutes at 19/10.

Who’ll get the goals? Edin Dzeko will lead the line for the home side. He’s 7/2 to open the scoring.

Cengiz Under could be one to watch too. The young winger’s bagged five goals in his last six appearances. He’s 7/4 to get another goal here Anytime.

Roma will need to keep an eye on Facundo Ferreyra though. The Argentine struck for Shakhtar in the first leg. Our traders have him at 19/10 to score in this one.

There have been Over 2.5 Goals in each of the last three encounters between these sides. Roma and Over 2.5 Goals is 13/10.
