I think Brighton can do a lot of damage to Rome because of his way of attack, Rome is weak in defense and Brighton has a very fast and powerfull attack, plus De Zerbi is Italian born and raised so he really know how Italian teams play.
But ROme still having some better players, lets see what win, stars or team work.
I think Brighton is luckier in this matchup in terms of some facts. De Zerbi knows Italian football well and is a quality coach. On the other hand, his experience is better than De Rossi. He also knows how to motivate his players. When we add the Premier League experience to this, a great team emerges. In my opinion, Rome's chances are very difficult. They must play without mistakes and take advantage of every opportunity.
This should be one of the most toughest match in this round because both teams are high class teams and will give themselves tough time in order for one to prevail. Roma are use to to the league and have had more experience of the European competitions than Brighton has since their qualification to the premier league. AS Roma is a big team in the Serie A and have performed in almost every year’s European competitions, so I feel they have the experience and the talents put together to advance to the next round than Brighton will. Although, Brighton should not be underrated also because they’ve come very far to make it to this competition and are still doing well in their domestic league. Let’s wait to see how the match is being played out because a winner cannot just be decided base on their past performances in the league.
