AS Roma Team News

Roma started this year’s Europa League group stage phenomenally, securing three victories in three matches. They defeated today’s opponent, Sheriff, with a score of 2:1 and then won against Servette and Slavia Prague at the Olimpico stadium. However, with two setbacks in the following two rounds (a loss to Slavia in Prague 2:0 and a draw in Switzerland with Servette 1:1), the home team found themselves in a situation where their first-place position on the table was at risk. We know how crucial the top position is in the group stage of the Europa League and Conference League, as it directly leads to the Round of 16, while the second-placed team goes to the “Playoffs” or Round of 32, meaning they have an additional two-legged tie.

For this reason, we expect an offensive approach from Roma, who will do everything possible to secure the top spot, hoping for a stumble from Slavia in their match against Swiss side Servette. Roma faces a crucial away match against Bologna in the next round, and there is a possibility that they might field a mixed team. However, Romelu Lukaku is expected to feature in the attack, considering his red card in the previous Serie A match, making him ineligible for the weekend’s domestic league fixture.

Sheriff Team News

It was unexpected for many that Sheriff could secure one of the top two spots in a group with AS Roma, Slavia Prague, and Servette as rivals. Everyone at the club had hoped for a battle with the Swiss representative for the third position and a continuation into the spring in Europe through the UEFA Conference League. However, the reality is a bit different.

Sheriff suffered two defeats in the first two rounds, notably the debacle against Slavia with a score of 6:0, and it was already clear then that they were significantly inferior in quality compared to their competitors. This was further confirmed in the doubleheader against Servette, where Sheriff recorded a draw and a loss, mathematically bidding farewell to European competition this season. Nevertheless, in the match against Roma, they play for prestige, and regardless of everything, we are convinced that they will not give up at one of the most beautiful stadiums in Italy.
