The Romans brought Ranieri out of retirement last season. He almost managed to finally return his old-new team to the top four, but lost out to Juventus by a single point. Now Gasperini, who became the coach in the summer, is trying to achieve this goal. The German club dropped in the Bundesliga in 2024/2025 from second to ninth place and did not reach the Champions League playoffs. However, they managed to make amends by winning the cup. Now they are trying to fight for fourth place, although the competition is strong.
For the Italians, the Europa League is definitely not a priority. So it’s not surprising that after beating a crisis-hit Nice, there were defeats to Lille and Viktoria Plzen, both at home. But then the team regrouped and consecutively beat Rangers, Midtjylland, and Celtic.
The Germans have had almost identical results in this tournament. They also started with a win, 2-1 against Celta. Then they lost back-to-back away games to Basel and Fenerbahce. But in November-December, they practically secured a playoff spot by taking maximum points in matches against Feyenoord, Go Ahead Eagles, and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Roma have won three matches in a row
The team scores an average of 1.67 goals while conceding 0.83
Stuttgart have also won three consecutive matches
The club scores twice per match in the League, conceding 0.83.
Roma (probable lineup): Svilar – Celik, Zelkowski, Gilardi – El Shaarawy, Cristante, Kone, Pisilli, França – Ferguson, Dybala
Stuttgart (probable lineup): Nübel – Hendriks, Chabot, Jeltsch – Leveling, Nartey, El Khannouss, Stiller, Karazor, Vagnoman – Undav.
