Roma will host Zarya in the 5th round of the Conference League group stage. Will the guests be able to catch on to the points and stay in the fight for the playoffs?
"Roma"
After two rounds, Roma confidently led in Group C, having the maximum number of points. First, the Wolves defeated CSKA Sofia on their own field (5-1), and then left no chance for Zara, sending three unanswered goals to its gates. But the matches against "Bude/Glimt" brought a huge disappointment to Roma and its fans. In the third round, the Romans were defeated with a score of 1-6, and in the fourth they could only snatch a draw by scoring the second return goal in the 84th minute (2-2).
"Dawn"
The reverse situation is observed in the "Dawn", which started with two defeats, dropping to last place - lost 1:3 to "Buda/Glimt" and 0:3 "Roma", but was able to return to the fight for 1-2 places, gaining the maximum number of points in two duels with CSKA Sofia. In the game of the third round, the Ukrainian team won with a score of 1-0, and in the match of the fourth round they achieved a more confident victory - 2:0.
Statistics and figures:
- Roma scored one point in the last two matches;
- Zarya won in the previous two rounds;
- In the first round match, Roma defeated Zarya 3-0.
Forecast
The loser practically loses the chance to get out of the group, so both teams will tune in to the duel in the maximum way so as not to lose at least, because a draw will still allow them to count on a ticket to the playoffs. I think that the meeting will turn out to be neat and low-yielding, since the emphasis will be shifted towards defense.
