These teams last met in official games in 2018 in the Champions League group stage when Real Madrid won both games 2:0 at Stadio Olimpico and 3:0 at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. Over the past ten h2h games, AS Roma won three times, while Real Madrid won five times.
When it comes to the number of goals, five out of ten h2h games ended with three or more goals. Meanwhile, both teams scored in four of those ten h2h games.
AS Roma team overview
AS Roma had an excellent season behind them under Gian Piero Gasperini, finishing 3rd in Serie A. Giallorossi continued playing well this season also, given the fact that they are undefeated thus far in seven games across competitions. In Serie A, they are in 3rd place with 14 points from six rounds and are generally playing very good football. It remains to be seen whether they can continue their unbeaten streak against one of the main favorites for the Champions League title.
Mile Svilar and Bryan Cristante missed the previous game against Como and are in major doubt for the Real Madrid game. Svilar is their first-choice goalkeeper, and Cristante is one of their most important players, especially in defensive organization. Instead of Cristante, we should see experienced Marten de Roon start. Additionally, Konstantinos Koulierakis is questionable due to a knock.

Real Madrid team overview
Real Madrid weren't close to winning any trophies last season, so they brought in Jose Mourinho while strengthening the squad. This season, Los Blancos won six out of nine games and looked very dominant in periods. However, the two losses were against good teams - Real Betis and Atletico Madrid. Both losses came on the road, and there is a big question about their road form, which makes this duel super interesting.
Real Madrid are dealing with injury problems, especially at the back, as they will miss Raul Asensio, Eder Militao, and Ferland Mendy. The good news is that Ibrahima Konate seems to be fully recovered. Moreover, Rodrygo remains sidelined with his long-term injury.

Prediction
AS Roma are undefeated this season despite having a pretty challenging schedule. Giallorossi avoided defeat against some really good teams like Atalanta, Fenerbahce, Inter, and Como, and we expect a good display against Real Madrid, which has had some problems on the road this season. Moreover, at home, AS Roma won seven points in three rounds against good teams, while scoring eight goals!
Meanwhile, as we said, Real Madrid struggled in some road games. They won two and lost two, but those wins came against pretty poor teams - Espanyol and Elche- while the losses came against Atletico Madrid and Real Betis, teams that are around AS Roma's level of quality.
Considering all the above, we expect a super-close game, where the hosts should secure at least one point.
3 Reasons why AS Roma should win or draw
- AS Roma are undefeated this season
- AS Roma won seven points in three home games
- Real Madrid lost two out of four road games
