Union St Gilloise vs Roma

, KO: 18:45 Nov 7, 2024, Stade Roi Baudouin
Roma

Roma are still trying to find their rhythm this season as they travel to Union St Gilloise for a Europa League fixture on Thursday. With the Belgians also looking out of sorts at the moment, both teams could be set to cancel each other out.

Union St Gilloise have looked out of their depth in this year’s Europa League as they are still without a win in the competition. They have been beaten twice already and lost 1-0 to Midtjylland in their previous fixture.

The poor form is not just limited to the Europa League as Union St Gilloise have won just once in their last seven matches across all competitions. Sebastian Pocognoli’s men have also picked up only one win in their last five home matches, although three of those fixtures have been draws.

Roma finally picked up a win in the Europa League after struggling in their opening two matches. Ivan Juric’s men triumphed 1-0 over Dynamo Kiev last time out with Artem Dovbyk’s first half penalty proving the difference.

That result was a rare positive moment for Roma, who head into Thursday’s clash with just two wins from their last seven matches across all competitions. They are also winless on their travels this season and were beaten 3-2 by Verona in a Serie A fixture last weekend.

How the bookies view it: Closely fought contest

The bookies appear to be anticipating a closely fought contest with a win for Union St Gilloise priced at 7/4 with Betfred, who is also offering 6/4 for a Roma victory. A draw is set at odds of 12/5 by Betfred.

Head to head: First ever meeting

This will be the first ever meeting between Union St Gilloise and Roma.

Players to watch: Attacks to shine

Promise David has impressed for Union St Gilloise in recent times with three goals in the last two matches. He should feature in attack alongside Mohammed Fuseini and both men can produce over 0.5 goals for the Belgians at 1/3 with Betfred.

Despite Roma’s struggles this season, Dovbyk continues to catch the eye with a string of fine performances. With the likes of Matias Soule and Paulo Dybala also impressing, the Italians could be set to produce over 0.5 goals at 1/3 with Betfred

Probable line-ups

Union St Gilloise are without Henok Teklab and Sofiane Boufal, who are both sidelined with injury. Fuseini should come in to partner David in attack after featuring off the bench last weekend.

Mario Hermoso and Alexis Saelemaekers are the only injury absentees for Roma ahead of Wednesday’s clash. Paulo Dybala and Bryan Cristante are both pushing to start after playing as substitutes last weekend.

Union St Gilloise: Moris, Sykes, Burgess, Machida, Niang, Amani, Vanhoutte, Sadiki, Lapoussin, Fuseini, David
Roma: Svilar, Mancini, Ndicka, Angelino, Celik, Cristante, Le Fee, Zalewski, Paulo Dybala, Soule, Dovbyk

There were more goals after the break in Union St Gilloise’s previous home fixture and a similar pattern is valued at 11/10 by Betfred.
