Los Blancos Lead H2H
These two European giants locked horns 12 times so far, and Real Madrid have an 8-3 advantage in terms of victories.
Roma Unbeaten This Season
Roma snatched a point in their UEFA Champions League opening match against Fenerbahce (1-1) where the opposition missed a couple of big chances to claim the spoils (had 0.47-1.58 xG and 1-3 in goal chances).
Gian Piero Gasperini's side is having a good run in the Italian Serie A so far, collecting 14 out of possible 18 points, conceding just three goals in six games and currently sit in 3rd place.
They wasted a 2-0 lead against Inter Milan just before the international break (the game ended in a 2-2 draw), while returning to action last weekend with a goalless draw at Como where Donyell Malen was sent off early in the second half.
Real Madrid Losing Two Games on the Road
Real Madrid's clash against Inter Milan was arguably the most interesting game of the UCL opening round, Los Blancos taking a 2-1 victory at home thanks to early goals of Kylian Mbappe and Federico Valverde.
Jose Mourinho's side suffered a painful 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid just before the international break which ended their three-game winning streak.
Real Madrid returned to action on Saturday, beating Villarreal 1-0 at home in a match full of controversies. Yan Diomande was the sole scorer, while Vinicius Junior was sent off in the 73rd minute.

Verdict
I don't trust Real Madrid on the road, losing two of their last three trips in La Liga. Roma are looking rock-solid under Gasperini, yet to lose a match this season, so a draw looks likely on Wednesday.
