Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
AS Roma
Match Time & Date:
17/03/2022
21:00
Prediction: 2-0
Vitesse
Stadio Olimpico will host Thursday’s Conference League game between Roma and Vitesse. The Giallorossi defeated the Vitas thanks to Sergio Oliveira’s goal in the first leg, but the former Porto midfielder will miss the second leg through suspension. As always, a man to watch in Jose Mourinho’s team will be Tammy Abraham, while both Kumbulla and Mkhitaryan are back from domestic bans.
Spinazzola remains on the sidelines with injury. Vitesse, on the other hand, will have a big fish to fry in the “Eternal City”. Since Roma have turned their stadium into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return to the Netherlands empty-handed. Midfielder Gyan de Regt should miss out with injury for the visiting side as he was forced to leave the pitch early in a goalless draw with Heracles at the weekend.
Highlighted Player (Rui Patricio):
Sporting Lisbon and Portugal national team goalkeeper Rui Patricio is a one-club man. He was reportedly close to signing with Serie A giants Inter Milan during the 2008 of-season, but he remained in his club where he will most likely hang up his boots when the time comes. The 28-year-old shot stopper spent most of his career with the Lions making his debut with the first-team at only 18 years of age.
Rui Patricio went on to appear in more than 350 official games for the Portugal greats and remains the first-choice keeper for his club and country. Having gone through all the youth selections with the national team, Rui Patricio was given his first senior cap in 2010 after Paulo Bento’s appointment.
Rui Patricio represented his national team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and three European Championships. The 28-year-old was the mainstay in Portugal’s historic Euro 2016 title in France.
Highlighted Team (Vitesse):
Nicknamed Vitas, the proud of Gelderland, Vitesse are a Dutch football club based in Arnhem. Vitesse compete in the Dutch Eredivisie and they have yet to win the national championship. However, they finished as runners-up in the Dutch elite division on five occasions (1897–98, 1902–03, 1912–13, 1913–14, 1914–15), while clinching third place in the standings in the 1997/1998 season.
Vitesse did remarkably well to win the 2016/2017 Dutch Cup title, with the team beating AZ Alkmaar in the final at De Kuip in Rotterdam. As a result, the Vitas booked their place in the Europa League group stages where they face the likes of Lazio, Nice and Zulte-Waregem.
Vitesse are well known for their yellow jerseys with black stripes, while the club’s away colour is black. GelreDome is the home ground of the Dutch team and the capacity of the venue is 21.248. It has to be noted that famous Spanish footballer Albert Ferrer was in charge of the club in the 2010/2011 season.
