AS Roma lost the lead in the Serie A table at the weekend, but the Italians remain unbeaten this term and will look to extend that record against odds-on favourites Real Madrid C.F. on Wednesday.
Real Madrid saw out a 1-0 win over Villarreal on Saturday, despite Vinicius Junior's second-half red card, but the La Liga hopefuls have struggled at times on the road this season and face a difficult test against in-form AS Roma.

AS Roma v Real Madrid C.F. Prediction
Best Bet: AS Roma win or Draw - Double Chance @ 5/6
AS Roma have been one of the form sides in Italy since the turn of the year, and they look good value to get something out of Wednesday's meeting with favourites Real Madrid C.F.
They picked up a point against the improving Como on Sunday after star striker Donyell Malen was sent off, extending their unbeaten start to the season and leaving them without a defeat in 14 assignments.
They picked up a point in their UEFA Champions League opener against Fenerbahçe SK and, while Jose Mourinho's side did beat Roma's compatriots FC Internazionale Milano in their first continental tie, that 2-1 win came at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu and they have not been firing on all cylinders away from home.
They lost to rivals Atlético de Madrid in their last away trip to make it two defeats in their last three on the road, and AS Roma have the confidence to take the game to the Spanish giants.
Alternative Bet: Kylian Mbappe to score anytime @ 8/11
While AS Roma are expected to perform well, keeping Kylian Mbappe quiet is another matter entirely and the France captain looks good value to extend his fantastic start to the season.
Mbappe did not manage to get on the scoresheet against Villarreal but heads to Rome having scored nine goals in 10 games for club and country this season.
He found the net in Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League curtain raiser and has scored four in his last four games for the club.
AS Roma v Real Madrid C.F. Bet Builder Tip
Ibrahima Konate to be booked
Paulo Dybala 3+ shots
Kylian Mbappe 2+ shots on target
Jude Bellingham to be fouled 2+ times
Pays 17/2
Real Madrid have picked up 18 yellow cards and two red cards in their nine competitive games this term and centre-back Ibrahima Konate has been responsible for four of those bookings.
The former Liverpool man was carded against Villarreal at the weekend and all four of his cautions have come in his last seven games, so he looks a good price to get into trouble again.
Two players who stand out in the shots markets are Paulo Dybala and Kylian Mbappe.
The AS Roma forward’s 23 shots give him an average of 3.54 shots per 90 minutes and he has had at least three shots in five of his seven games.
Mbappe has had more shots on target than any other player across Europe’s top five leagues, finding his range with 24 of his 44 league shots.
The French superstar has had at least two shots on target in seven of his nine club appearances this season and should be a major threat in Rome.
Only Vinicius Junior has drawn more fouls than Jude Bellingham across Europe’s top five leagues this season and the England star stands out as the better option on Wednesday.
He has been fouled twice or more in nine of his last 10 starts for club and country.
