After the start of last season, Roma quickly dismissed De Rossi. Later, during his brief stint, Juric made things even worse, and even Ranieri, with all his experience, couldn’t lift the team higher than fifth place by spring. However, with Gasperini, who has been at the helm since the summer, the team is now contending for the Serie A lead. The Danes failed to retain their title in the 2024/2025 season, with Copenhagen overtaking them at the finish. Now, however, they are confidently ahead of their rival from the capital. Still, at least Brøndby and Aarhus are also actively earning points.
In the Europa League, the Italian giants have shown inconsistency. They started with a win over Nice. But then they lost not only to another French side, Lille — showing an inability to score even from the penalty spot — but also to Viktoria Plzeň, both times at home! However, in the last round, they defeated a crisis-hit Rangers in Glasgow.
The current visitors started their campaign back in the summer, advancing through the qualifiers against Hibernian, Fredrikstad, and KuPS. Only in the very first match, at home against the Scots, did they settle for a draw. Moreover, their main round record is a perfect one. The team has beaten Sturm, Nottingham Forest, Maccabi Tel Aviv, and Celtic!
