Roma favourites to win
While Trabzonspor is not a weak opponent, Roma has a better quality in this fixture. A chance to play in the Europa League should get Roma motivated to collect some points on matchday. The visitors will play against Trabzonspor for the first time and this fixture precedes Serie A new season kick-off five days later. It is a chance for Jose Mourihno to show his tactical masterclass as he prepares to steer the Italian side through the new season.
Goals on both ends
We are expecting goals on both sides. Trabzonspor does not only have home advantage but the hosts also have a better run of form than Roma coming to this fixture. The hosts are unbeaten in the last 19 games and kicked off their campaign in the Turkish Super Lig new season campaign with an emphatic 5-1 victory. Thus, we believe they have the scoring form to score at least once on matchday.
Roma to open the scoring
We are also backing the visitors to open the scoring in this fixture. Roma has a top-quality squad that should go out to Turkey for nothing less than three points against the Turkish side, Trabzonspor.
Game Preview: Can Trabzonspor Maintain Hot Form Against Roma?
This fixture promises to be one of the most exciting battles for Europa Conference League places. Both sides have been in excellent form and come to this fixture after scoring five goals in their last match. Our fixture preview digs deeper.
Trabzonspor
Turkish side hopes to extend unbeaten run to 20 games when they host Roma in round four of Europa League qualifiers. This is the first leg of the four-round and the hosts will bank on home advantage and a good form to get results on matchday. Notably, Trabzonspor’s head coach, Abdullah Avci, averages a remarkable 2.03 points after 37 games in charge.
Roma
While Roma’s new head coach, Jose Mourinho, has not indicated whether newly acquired forward, Tammy Abraham, will play in this fixture, chances are high that he will. The visiting squad hopes they can get at least a point in the first leg before hosting Trabzonspor later in the month. Moreover, Mourinho's experience in the Europa League stage, a tournament has won previously will play significance in this match. Jose Mourinho joined Roma from Tottenham Hotspurs where he averaged 1.77 points in 86 games.
