Roma form and stats

Roma participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.

Roma are steadily winning Serie A games and points here at Stadio Olimpico. 11 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 17 games. 9W-2D-2L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Europa League for Roma.

No payout for Roma in their previous match, an away game at Sampdoria that ended in defeat 0-2. Prior to that, an away loss at Manchester United in the Europa League.

The penalty miss from Edin Džeko in the defeat against Sampdoria was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Crotone in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadio Olimpico.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (35 in 17 games), Roma's attacking play is working. Roma have conceded 18 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Manchester United form and stats

United's mission in Europa League last season failed in the semi-finals.

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 10 wins, 7 draws and only 0 losses in the Premier League. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Europa League stats, they have 5 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses both home and away. Things are running smoothly for United who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 13 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Sheffield United. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Liverpool game have they lost an away game, meaning United has taken points from 24 away matches in a row.

Impressive finishing from Bruno Fernandes (2), Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani (2) and Mason Greenwood secured the home win 6-2 against Roma in their previous game. A 0-0 draw at Leeds United's stadium before that.

As you can tell from the results above, United was very dominant against Roma, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 6-2 (!) with Bruno Fernandes (2), Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani (2) and Mason Greenwood providing the goals.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the United manager O. Solskjær as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Aston Villa.

The travelling fans enjoy Manchester United's attacking play in away games, having scored 30 goals in 17 league matches away. It's not easy to score on United as they have only conceded 14 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

As for the last seven games between these two teams, there's one Roma victory, one draw and five Manchester United wins.

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.
