Across the Romaverse Podcast, #31: Benevento Recap & Braga Preview

Forgive me for being a bit arrogant, but I thought Roma securing all three points against Benevento would be a mere formality on Sunday. After all, Roma was perfect against bottom-half sides this season and newly promoted sides for a good long time. Meanwhile, the Giallorossi hammered the Sorcerers 5-2 the first time these two sides met.

Nevertheless, Roma is Roma and never ceases to amaze us. So, as dull as the draw was, Sean and I still found plenty to talk about as we recap the match against Pippo Inzaghi’s side. Once we put a wrap on that match we also look ahead to the Europa League Round of 32 2nd leg against Braga at the Olimpico.
