This is indeed hard match for Roma because during group stages Brighton performance is far better compared to them but we shouldn't be forget because Roma is the finalist of last season so i am sure they will not be easily to beated especially Roma under De Rossi has been showing significant progress and the latest is Roma can able to beat Torino yesterday in Serie A and about Brighton this team was unstable in Premier League but for Europa League and FA Cup Brighton still able to managed their consistency because in Europa League Brighton can advances to the round of 16 and in FA Cup Brighton can reach to 5th round
I have to says the chances for Roma and Brighton is 50:50 which mean both teams has equal chances to qualified and first match will be held in Olimpico stadium which is Roma home ground and if Brighton can able to get at least draw result at there i think second leg will be more easy for Brighton but i have been notice on Europa League under Mourinho Roma has fantastic records at their home because since October 2022 in this competition Roma still unbeatable during playing at their home so these records makes me thinking there is possibility for Roma to win this match moreover Roma under De Rossi can playing more attacking
Roma will again face quite a tough challenge for them in the round of 16, so perhaps their journey to repeat the success story of the previous season will be quite difficult for them this season. Both teams have quality players, but Roma is still very much the favorite judging from their success last season. For de rossi, the time has come to form a squad to appear more consistent in order to beat Brighton.
Roma performance in the European League this season must go through the play-off round and their next challenge must be to beat brighton and the first leg will be at home. But from the previous match when Roma beat feyenoord they were not able to show their best game but I hope De rossi can improve the quality of their players to be able to play more impressively when facing Brighton. In terms of player, Dybala and Lukaku are quite influential players in the roma squad, But recently Pellegrini has also found his confidence to score goals again so this is a good opportunity to secure victory in the first leg.
