The Europa League group stage continues with a high-profile clash as Serie A giants Roma welcome Ligue 1 side Lille to the Stadio Olimpico. Both teams kicked off their campaigns with wins, but their recent form paints two very different stories.
Roma’s Momentum and Defensive Solidity
Roma are riding high in Serie A, sitting third in the table. Their most recent outing was a 2-0 victory over Verona, with Artem Dovbyk and M. Marvano both on the scoresheet. That result gave the Giallorossi three straight wins and extended their strong run of form.
In Europe, they opened with a 2-1 away win against Nice, showing resilience and attacking balance. Across their last six competitive matches, Roma have claimed five wins and kept four clean sheets. With home advantage on their side, they look well-positioned to continue their strong start.
Lille Struggling for Consistency Away from Home
Lille sit sixth in Ligue 1 with a record of three wins, one draw, and two defeats. Their away form is patchy, with just one win from three attempts.
The French club suffered a setback in their last league fixture, losing 0-1 at home to Lyon. Although they began their Europa League campaign with a 2-1 victory against Brann, their recent trend is concerning, with two defeats in their last three matches. Compared to their home form, Lille’s performances on the road have been far less convincing.
