United are in a defensive crisis, conceding in almost every recent game while their attack barely functions. Roma, by contrast, score heavily and consistently, backing a strong over 2.5 trend. H2H history also leans toward high-scoring affairs. The main risk is a more cautious Champions League approach from both sides, but the underlying form trends are strong enough to support the over.
