AS Roma vs Brighton Preview

AS Roma, rejuvenated under the leadership of club legend Daniele De Rossi, are set to face Brighton in a highly anticipated UEFA Europa League Round of 16 first-leg encounter at Stadio Olimpico.

The Italian side’s unbeaten run in five competitive matches highlights their form resurgence, setting the stage for a thrilling contest against the Premier League’s Brighton, who are navigating through a rough patch.

Roma’s Resurgence Under De Rossi

Since the appointment of Daniele De Rossi as head coach, Roma have displayed a remarkable upturn in performance, combining tactical finesse with a fighting spirit.

Their progression past Feyenoord in the play-offs via penalties underscores the team’s resilience and ability to thrive under pressure.

With aspirations to surpass last season’s runner-up finish, Roma aims to leverage their formidable home record against English teams to secure an advantageous position in the tie.

Historical Advantage at Stadio Olimpico

Roma’s dominance at Stadio Olimpico, especially against Premier League opposition, where they’ve secured seven wins in their last eight European home matches, bodes well for their campaign.

This historical edge could play a crucial role in unsettling a Brighton side searching for form.

Brighton’s Struggle for Consistency

Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton, despite being in their debut season in European competition, have impressed with their performances, particularly on the road.

However, recent domestic struggles and a lack of goals have seen the Seagulls’ spark dim, with Lewis Dunk’s late header against Everton marking their only goal in three matches.

Their solid away record in Europe, featuring wins against Ajax and AEK Athens without conceding, will be tested against Roma’s experienced lineup.

The Challenge for Brighton

Brighton’s unbeaten streak in away European fixtures this season will face its sternest test at Stadio Olimpico.

With João Pedro, the tournament’s top scorer, unavailable, the Seagulls will look to Danny Welbeck’s experience in European competitions to inspire a positive result in Rome.

Key Players to Watch

Romelu Lukaku

The Belgian striker’s formidable Europa League scoring record makes him a key threat to Brighton’s defence.

Danny Welbeck

The experienced forward’s knack for scoring in European competitions could provide the spark Brighton needs.

Key Stat: Roma’s Home Fortress

Roma’s impressive record of losing only one of their last 30 home UEFA competition matches underscores the challenge that Brighton will face in this first-leg encounter.

As Roma and Brighton prepare to lock horns in the Europa League, both teams have much to prove.

Roma, under De Rossi’s guidance, look to continue their European quest with another strong home performance.

Meanwhile, Brighton seek to overturn their recent domestic form and make a statement in their European debut season. With key players on both sides poised to make an impact, this match promises to be a captivating clash of strategy, skill, and determination.
