Trabzonspor and AS Roma will face off in the play-off round of the Europa Conference League, as the two sides fight out for a spot in the group stage. Hosts Trabzonspor started off in the third qualifying round and after eliminating Molde, they’ll hope they can go a notch higher. They are coming from a huge win, beating Yeni Malatyaspor 5-1 for their first win of the season, having drawn the earlier two. The only negative they take from their opening win of the season is that they couldn’t keep a clean sheet. Yeni Malatyaspor’s goal means Trabzonspor have no clean sheet in their last four outings and both sides have scored in each of these four games. Trabzonspor have failed to score in just one of their last five matches, and at home, they are unbeaten in the last 11, with seven wins in there. An improvement in defence is however needed, with the team having just three clean sheets in their last 13 home matches.

Roma gets to play their first game of the season when Trabzonspor have already played three, and in terms of match fitness the Italian side might struggle. Jose Mourinho has taken charge at the team and has acquired Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham in what looks like a big move for the striker. The Romans are coming from a run of two wins, two draws and a loss in their last five matches, and they’ve scored in four of their last five matches. In their most recent game, a friendly match against Raja Casablanca, Roma won 5-0 and have now scored 10 goals in the last three matches. However, six losses in 10 away matches don’t look so good, for a side starting the season with an away game. They have conceded two or more goals in seven of the last 10 away matches, and both sides have scored in eight of their last 10 away matches.
