Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Amex Stadium will host Thursday’s football game between Brighton and AS Roma. The Romans rolled over the Seagulls 4-0 in the “Eternal City” and they are now on a quest to defend their big lead in “London by the Sea”. Midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini is widely expected to return to the starting XI after the 27-year-old came as a substitute in a 2-2 draw with Fiorentina, while Rasmus Kristensen is back from the Serie A ban.
The Premier League side, on the other hand, have no other option but to go all guns blazing at Daniele De Rossi’s troops. As Roma are not regarded as good travellers, we are tempted to put our money on Roberto De Zerbi’s men, who defeated Nottingham Forest at the weekend. Anyhow, we do not believe that the hosts are capable of overcoming the four-goal deficit. All Jack Hinshelwood, Kaoru Mitoma, James Milner, and Joao Pedro are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
