Competition: Thu 20.February
Match begins: 20:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Olimpico (72698 seats)

The first of two encounters in the Europa League 16th Finals, as the hometeam Roma will try to edge Gent in their own ballpark.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

It's quite the trip for Gent when visiting Roma as the cities are 1500 kilometers apart.

Roma form and stats

Roma participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the 8th finals and lost against Porto.

5 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Roma have to build on here at Stadio Olimpico in the Serie A. This match is a Europa League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in this competition. Roma has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager P. Rodrigues Fonseca and the players.

In their previous game, the manager P. Rodrigues Fonseca led his Roma to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Atalanta. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Olimpico. Preceding that match was a Serie A defeat to Bologna (2-3).

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Roma, as the Serie A home game vs Lecce is only three days away.

The Roma fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 22 goals in 12 league matches. Roma have conceded 19 from these games.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
