Mansion Sports – The fifth matchday of the league phase of the 2025/2026 UEFA Europa League will see AS Roma host Midtjylland in a crucial fixture at the Stadio Olimpico. The match is scheduled to kick off on Thursday, 27 November 2025 at 18:45 local time. 

After two home matches that failed to meet expectations, AS Roma are determined to secure their first Europa League home victory of the season.

Their challenge will be significant, as Midtjylland arrive in Rome with a perfect record, leading the standings thanks to their uninterrupted winning streak in this league phase.

Team Conditions Ahead of the Match

AS Roma

In their latest European fixture, AS Roma earned a valuable 2-0 victory at Ibrox against Rangers.

Goals from Matias Soule and Lorenzo Pellegrini secured Roma’s second consecutive away win of the season and delivered the club’s 99th Europa League victory—currently the highest tally in the history of the competition.

However, their home campaign has been problematic. After opening with a 2-1 win over Nice, Roma faltered against Lille, highlighted by a rare incident in which they failed the same penalty three times. A surprising defeat to Viktoria Plzen followed shortly after.

These setbacks resulted in two home defeats in a single European season, a figure previously reached across 38 continental home matches. Roma have never suffered three consecutive home losses and aim to avoid breaking that record.

Nonetheless, recent form offers encouragement. A 3-1 win over Cremonese last weekend—featuring another goal from Soule—extended their winning streak to three matches in all competitions.

Under Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma currently sit atop the Serie A standings with a two-point lead, providing further motivation ahead of their meeting with the Europa League leaders.

Roma must also manage their focus with an important Scudetto-related match against Napoli approaching at the weekend.

Paulo Dybala and Leon Bailey are expected to return to the bench, while Angelino and Artem Dovbyk remain unavailable. Evan Ferguson is likely to lead the attack after ending his goal drought.

Midtjylland

Midtjylland remain the only team with a perfect record, earning four wins from four matches to collect 12 points and secure top spot in the standings.

This run marks their best performance in European competition outside the qualifying rounds, accompanied by the highest number of goals scored and shots on target so far.

Mike Tullberg’s squad have been consistently effective from set pieces, including their commanding 3-1 victory over Celtic.

Goals from Martin Erlic, Mikel Gogorza, and Franculino demonstrated the efficiency of their attacking patterns.

However, their momentum was halted in domestic competition with a 2-1 defeat to Sonderjyske. Philip Billing received a late red card, and the team conceded a penalty in the 100th minute.

The loss dropped Midtjylland to second place in the Danish Superliga, two points behind AGF Aarhus.

After seeing their 13-match unbeaten run come to an end, they will be eager to regain momentum at the Stadio Olimpico.

Franculino continues to be their main attacking threat, displaying sharp form throughout the season. Billing and Erlic return to Italy, where they previously played for Napoli and Bologna.

Meanwhile, Edward Chilufya and Adam Gabriel remain sidelined with injuries, and former Arsenal goalkeeper Ovie Ejeheri is not fully fit.
