AS Roma eyes the knockout stage

AS Roma seeks to finally clinch a spot in the knockout stage with a win over Servette FC, who can no longer afford to lose. When it comes to their group standings, Roma is sitting at the second, while Servette is at the third. However, despite sitting next to each other, these two teams actually have a huge point differential. Roma is at the second spot with nine points, earning three wins from their four matches. On the other hand, Servette is at the third with just four points, winning once, drawing once, and losing twice. Moreover, this is the second encounter between these two teams, and it is not surprising that Roma bagged the win. This meeting is on December 1, 2023, at 4:00 AM (GMT+8).

The Czech Republic and Roma face off in the UEFA Champions League, with the head-to-head record being identical after a 2-0 defeat against Slavia. To catch the top-ranked team, Roma will need to record substantial winning margins in their final two games. Slavia has a plus-eight goal difference, while Roma has a plus-five. Salvatore Foti has led Roma to a 4-0 win in the group stage, but they have struggled to score goals, especially away from home. This poor away form has plagued them for much of the season, with only two of their eight away games winning. To improve, Roma must transfer their form from the Stadio Olimpico, where they have won seven in a row, into wins away from home, which will be crucial both domestically and in Europe for Mourinho’s side.

Roma has no new injury concerns, with Tammy Abraham, Marash Kumbulla, Chris Smalling, and Renato Sanches out with ACL tears. Mile Svilar is expected to start in goal, with Mourinho using a cup goalkeeper system. Lukaku scored four in the first half against Azerbaijan.

Europa League: Servette FC

Servette is five points adrift of the top two in the Europa League knockouts, with a win against Sheriff ensuring a Europa Conference League place and determining the second place. They have a strong home winning run, having beaten Grasshoppers and Basel to extend their win streak to six games. Servette’s recent form and home advantage should give them confidence. They have won their last six matches across all competitions, including a 2-1 victory over Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League. However, a slow start to the European quest has left them third in Group G of the Europa League, with just four points from their four games so far. A dramatic comeback against Moldovans last time out secured a crucial three points.

Servette goalkeeper Joel Mall was injured in a Grasshoppers win, requiring Jeremy Frick to deputise. Bosnian international Miroslav Stevanovic may return, while Alexis Antunes and Hussayn Touati returned to the squad.

Prediction:

AS Roma (2.5)
Odds: -0.92
