Two European heavyweights with identical league-phase records collide in a must-win contest as Roma host Stuttgart in a decisive battle for a top-eight finish. With both teams on 12 points, separated only by goal difference, this fixture could define their European destiny.
For Kenyan football fans and punters, this is one of the most exciting UEL matchups of the week—packed with goals, form, and betting value.
Match Context: Everything on the Line
Roma started their UEL campaign slowly, losing two of their first three games, but they have since hit top gear, winning three in a row. That surge has reignited their hopes of automatic qualification.
The Giallorossi are also in strong domestic form, having won three of their last four matches in all competitions. However, their only recent defeat came at home, where both of their UEL losses this season also occurred. This makes Stuttgart’s visit a real test.
Stuttgart, meanwhile, mirrors Roma’s record perfectly. They also sit on 12 points, just one behind the top eight, but hold the edge on goal difference. The German side has been lethal going forward, scoring 10 goals from matchday four onwards, the most in the competition during that period.
They arrive unbeaten in their last six UEL games (W4, D2) and have won three of their previous four away matches, making them a serious threat in Rome.
Head-to-Head: First-Ever Meeting
This will be the first competitive meeting between Roma and Stuttgart.
- Roma vs German teams at home: W7, D2, L2
- Stuttgart vs Italian teams overall: W2, D3, L6
History slightly favours the hosts, but Stuttgart’s recent European form suggests this will be far from one-sided.
Hot Stats and Streaks
- Roma’s last five UEFA Europa League matches had the same half-time and full-time result.
- None of Roma’s last 34 matches in all competitions ended in a draw (W23, L11).
- 9 of Stuttgart’s last 12 matches produced Over 2.5 Goals.
- Stuttgart scored 2+ goals in five of their last six away games.
These numbers strongly point to a high-scoring encounter.
Key Players to Watch
Roma
Lorenzo Pellegrini
The Roma captain is a fast starter—he has scored his team’s first goal in 10 of his last 11 scoring appearances.
Stuttgart
Chris Führich
A second-half specialist, Führich has scored 8 of his last 10 goals after the break, making him Stuttgart’s biggest late threat.
