THE KEY STATS

  • Roma have won seven of their last eight UEFA competition matches at home against English teams (L1).
  • Roma are unbeaten in their last 11 Europa League knockout stage matches at home (W9 D2).
  • Roma have lost only one of their last 30 UEFA competition matches at home (W22 D7).
  • Roma have won their last nine UEFA competition two-legged ties.
  • Roma have lost only one of their last 12 UEFA competition matches (W6 D5).

  • Brighton have won their last four Europa League matches, and are unbeaten in five (D1).
  • Brighton have not conceded a goal in their last four Europa League matches.
  • João Pedro has scored in five of Brighton’s six Europa League matches this season. He has scored six goals in total.

THE PREDICTION

There is a good relationship off the pitch between Daniele De Rossi and Roberto De Zerbi and the two Italian coaches could put on some show at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday evening. Ever since De Rossi replaced Jose Mourinho in the Roma dugout in January, the Giallorossi have been much-improved and very entertaining, progressing into this stage of the UEFA Europa League by beating Feyenoord in the knockout playoffs on penalties and also winning six of their seven Serie A matches. Brighton and Hove Albion were hammered 3-0 by Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday but are still challenging towards the top seven in the Premier League and their 27 matches so far this season have consisted of 93 goals so a high-scoring first-leg is expected here.

TIP: OVER 2.5 GOALS
