Intriguing Encounter at Stadio Olimpico
Europa League Round of 16 Match Preview
Italian giants AS Roma will host English club Brighton & Hove Albion in an intriguing Europa League Round of 16 encounter at the Stadio Olimpico. The first leg of this knockout tie is set to be played on Thursday, March 9, 2023.
Roma, under the guidance of manager José Mourinho, have been in impressive form this season. They currently sit third in the Serie A table and have advanced to the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia. Roma will be looking to continue their strong run in European competition, having reached the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League last season.
Brighton, on the other hand, have had a mixed season in the Premier League. After a strong start, they have struggled for consistency in recent months. However, they will be hoping to make a strong impression on the European stage, having never reached the knockout stages of a major UEFA competition before.
The match is expected to be a close affair between two evenly matched teams. Roma will be slight favorites, but Brighton have shown that they can be a dangerous opponent on their day. Both teams will be looking to take an advantage into the second leg, which will be played in England on March 16.
