Football Bet of the Day: Look to Rome for goals tonight

Edin For Goals: Roma and Porto look all set to entertain everyone in the Stadio Olimpico

Valencia 2 Las Palmas 4 was a fine way for the islanders to start the Liga season, and a relaxing way for us to start the week - our both teams to score bet was paid out after just 16 minutes.

Today we're crossing the Med and headed to the Italian capital for Roma's Champions League qualifier second leg with Porto. Luciano Spalletti's hosts are locked at 1-1 with Nuno's visitors. We're ready to punt on a few more goals in this evening's encounter.

Going back to 2010, the Italians have conceded in 10/11 Champions League home games. The Giallorossi themselves have scored in eight of those games and, excitingly, six of those eight got to Over 3.5 Goals in total.

Porto have notched at least once on 7/8 Champions League away trips since 2014. Half of those eight games got to Over 3.5 Goals and that too suggests there's value in the price on another four match goals or more tonight.
