Prediction published on 19/09/2023, 16:34  by Daniel Ngulu in Europa League Predictions

AS Roma will travel to Moldova, where they are scheduled to face Sheriff in their opening Europa League game. Ahead of this Group G game, both sides are coming from comfortable wins. Home team Sheriff registered a second straight win in beating Floresti 5-1. Earlier, in their Europa League playoff, they beat Ki 2-1 to complete a 3-2 aggregate win. Sheriff are struggling defensively but this string of wins will boost their confidence. They have no clean sheet in the last four matches and three have had both teams scoring. Three of their last five matches have also had over 2.5 goals. Sheriff scored two or more goals in three of their last five matches. They come into this clash with seven straight wins at home. In their last 15 matches at home, they are unbeaten, with 13 wins in there. In Europa League action, Sheriff are unbeaten in five matches, with both sides scoring in the last four. Also, three of their last four Europa League matches had over 2.5 goals.

AS Roma will be hoping to go one better after losing to Sevilla in the Europa League final last season. Against expectations, manager Jose Mourinho has stayed on to see out his contract. He will want to end it in style and you can bank on the manager to push his players for this. In his first season he delivered the Conference League title. Mourinho’s side started this season slowly, failing to win their opening three matches. However, they come into this one having thrashed Empoli 7-0 in the Serie A. That was not only their first clean sheet this season but also the first time they managed more than two goals. All of Roma’s four matches this season have produced over 2.5 goals. In each of the earlier three, they conceded twice. Roma will want to do better in this game as their away form in this competition hasn’t been the best. In five away matches in Europa League, Roma have no win and failed to score in four.
