Roma's performances have noticeably gotten better lately, particularly in their local league matches. With the arrival of their new coach, they've clinched numerous victories, showcasing their growing prowess. While their European appearances have been limited, their encounter against Feyenoord proved to be a tough challenge, resulting in a draw. Looking ahead to their upcoming match against Brighton, despite odds not being in their favor, Roma emerges as the favored team. Bright's recent form is commendable, yet it's uncertain whether they can surpass Roma, judging from the latter's recent performances. However, the outcome remains unpredictable, and only time will reveal the victor.
Roma and Brighton have almost the same team strength so the match between these two teams will be very difficult to predict.
And indeed, since De Rossi's arrival as ROma coach, quite a lot of changes have occurred in the Roma team, developments or improvements in the quality of the team in each match have made ROma now increasingly taken into account in the Europa League.
And don't forget that Roma is the team that reached the final last season, so of course they have the same ambitions and also have a strong enough mentality this season to be able to do the same thing.
If look at the two, they do have almost the same equality in terms of strength performance, but each has advantages that cannot be differentiated.
Brighton is in the Premier League competition with 7th place in the standings and they are used to facing several big, quite strong team such as Manchester City, Arsenal and also Liverpool who are currently in very good condition.
In contrast to Roma, which in the Serie A competition occupies 6th position in the standings and perhaps only faces strong team such as Inter Milan and Juventus, this difference will create an advantage in terms of ease when the two teams compete.
In the first leg, Roma will have home game and this is clearly an opportunity for them to win and have an aggregate advantage, but I sure Brighton will not give up and let Roma win.
Brighton must at least be able to maintain draw and try to win the match in the second leg when the home game is theirs, but I will also have little difficulty in determining who will make it through to the next round.
They each have advantages and disadvantages, perhaps predictions can really be made with more certainty when the first leg match is finished.
