Tottenham Hotspur vs AS Roma Europa League Football Match Today

Tottenham arrives brimming with confidence after dismantling Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City at the Etihad—a result hailed as one of the most shocking of the season. Ange Postecoglou’s men are firing on all cylinders, leading the Premier League scoring charts and boasting one of the league’s tightest defenses. Yet, a lack of consistency, evidenced by their sixth-place position, keeps them within reach of the top four but not quite there yet.

Their European form has been largely impressive. Despite a narrow defeat to Galatasaray, Spurs have made the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium a fortress in the Europa League, winning their last seven home games in the competition without conceding a single goal and netting 19 in the process. Against Italian clubs, Tottenham has tasted defeat only once in 10 encounters in England, making them strong favorites to add another win to their tally.

Roma, on the other hand, comes into this match in turmoil. The Italian giants have already gone through two managers this season, with Claudio Ranieri stepping in to steady the ship. Unfortunately, the experienced tactician has yet to spark a turnaround, with Roma languishing in 12th place in Serie A and a Europa League campaign that has yielded just one win so far.

Ranieri’s side finds itself in an uphill battle, needing results against tough opposition like Spurs and AZ Alkmaar away and Braga and Eintracht Frankfurt at home to remain among the top 24 in the league standings.

TOT vs ROM Dream11 Prediction

GK: F Forster

DEF: E Ndicka, G Mancini, M Zeki Celik

MID: B Johnson, J Maddinson, R Bentancur

ST: Solanke, Son, P Dybala

Totenham Hotspur Starting XI

Forster; Spence, Dragusin, Davies, Gray; Sarr, Bentancur, Bergvall; Johnson, Solanke, Werner

Postecoglou faces significant defensive challenges with Guglielmo Vicario sidelined after ankle surgery. The absence of center-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven means Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies are set to anchor the backline once again.

Rodrigo Bentancur, serving a domestic suspension, is likely to start in midfield to maintain his match fitness. Meanwhile, attacking options like Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke, and Timo Werner should lead the line as Spurs aim to dominate offensively.

AS Roma Starting XI

Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Hummels, Angelino; Soule, Baldanzi, Cristante, Zalewski; Dybala, Dovbyk

Ranieri reverted to a 4-4-2 system in their recent loss to Napoli, a formation that could offer some defensive stability. Lorenzo Pellegrini returned from injury in that match and will likely retain his place. Paulo Dybala, recovering from fitness concerns, is expected to feature prominently, possibly in the starting lineup. However, the Giallorossi remain without Eldor Shomurodov, who is sidelined with a muscle injury.

Who will Win Tottenham Hotspur vs AS Roma Europa League Match?

Roma’s struggles, particularly away from home and against English sides, make this an uphill battle. Spurs’ recent form at home in Europe suggests they will be too strong for their Italian visitors. A professional performance from Postecoglou’s men could see them cruise to a comfortable victory.
