Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Roma will be aiming to overtake Slavia Prague in top position in Group G when they face Sheriff Tiraspol at Stadio Olimpico on Thursday. The Romans have already booked their spot in the Europa League knockout stages, but they surely want to finish the process in the first place. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Romelu Lukaku, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late, while all Tammy Abraham, Chris Smalling, and Marash Kumbulla remain in the recovery room.
The Moldovans, on the other hand, have little to play for in the last group game as they missed out on a spot in the knockout stages. Since Roman Pylypchuk is likely to mix the squad against Roma, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Serie A outfit. Both Gaby Kiki and Armel Zohouri are back from suspension, speaking of the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Romelu Lukaku):
Romelu Lukaku Bolingoli, born on 13th of ay 1993 is a Belgian player with roots form Congo. Lukaku played for several youth teams before he got picked up by RSC Anderlecht. After playing for only 2 seasons for Anderlecht Chelsea picked him up for around12 million euro.
Lukaku was never able to get a spot in the starting eleven of Chelsea and after playing for WBA he moved to Everton for approximately 35 million euro.Lukaku made his debut in February 2010 by the age of 16 and is one of the youngest players that player for the highest Belgian national team.
The biggest achievement of Lukakui is winning the Eerste klasse in Belgium and the English FA Cup. With his strength and goal scoring abilities Lukaku can be considered as one of the deadliest strikers of the world. Nicknames for Lukaku are Big Rom and the Tank.
Highlighted Team (Sheriff Tiraspol):
Sheriff Tiraspol or simply Sheriff are the most successful Moldavian club. The club was founded in 1997 four years later (2000/2001) they won their first Moldovan National Division trophy. Over the years Sheriff Tiraspol have established themselves as the dominant force in the Moldovan football and you should that they won their 15th domestic trophy in the 2016/2017 season.
Sheriff were level on points with Dacia Chisinau, but thanks to a better goal difference Roberto Bordin’s men won the national championship. The Moldovan champions wear yellow shirts and yellow shorts when playing at home, whilst the colour of their away kits is black. Sheriff Tiraspol host their opponents at Sheriff Stadium in Tiraspol and the venue can hold 12.746 people.
By beating the likes of Dinamo Tirana and Dinamo Zagreb the Moldovan club did well to make it to the Champions League play-off round in the 2010/2011 season, but Basel eventually proved to be a big catch for them.
