There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Europa League 16th Finals meeting between Gent and Roma. Game on!
It's no vacation for neither Gent nor Roma as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Roma, who are travelling more than 1500 kilometers to play this game.
Gent form and stats
Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the play-offs against Bordeaux.Home games in the Pro League have been a walk in the park for Gent so far, with 36 points won from 14 matches; 11 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses. On the other hand, in the Europa League, Gent has performed like this (both home and away): 6 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses. In general it's been a long time since Gent tasted defeat here at GHELAMCO-arena, as they have taken at least one point from their last 15 home games in the league.
Gent's last game was hosting Sint-Truiden and winning 4-1. Heartbreak before that as Gent lost 0-1 at Roma's place.
What a game it was for J. David when beating Sint-Truiden, applying the finishing touch to three goals!
There will be little rest for Gent after this match as they are travelling to Cercle Brugge for a Pro League game in only three days.
Gent are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at GHELAMCO-arena in their league games, having scored an impressive 37 goals in 14 matches. Gent are not conceding a lot of goals here at GHELAMCO-arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 14 matches.
Roma form and stats
Roma's mission in Champions League last season failed in the 8th finals against Porto.6-3-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Roma in their Serie A matches away. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Europa League stats, they have 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss both home and away. Roma has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Impressive finishing from Cengiz Ünder, Aleksandar Kolarov, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Edin Džeko secured the home win 4-0 against Lecce in their previous game. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Gent in the Europa League.
As mentioned above, Roma was the only team on the pitch versus Lecce in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Roma manager P. Rodrigues Fonseca as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Cagliari.
Roma are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 21 times in 12 away games so far. 13 goals have been conceded by Roma in these games.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Roma - Gent 1-0. Gent-Roma H2H statistics last three meetings regardless of arena: Gent zero wins, Roma three wins, zero draws. two of these three matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
