Rome 26 November 2025 – Roma will play against Midtjylland tomorrow., match valid for the fifth day of the championship phase of Europa LeagueA tricky match for a Giallorossi team that has only suffered defeats at the Olimpico when it comes to European competition. Added to this is a tough rival: the Danish team currently tops the competition with a perfect record and has already conquered prestigious venues like the City Ground in Nottingham.
A delicate race as he himself declared Gian Piero Gasperini to the microphones of Sky Sports on the eve of this match. “I’ve had the chance to see this team, and they’re a good team,” said the Grugliasco-born coach, “with talented young players. They play good football, have technique, confidence, and plenty of attacking options. It’s an important match for us. Unfortunately, we’ve faltered twice at home in the Europa League, and we need to play a crucial game.”
Roma have undoubtedly been a two-faced team in Europe: two away wins and two home defeats. These numbers are inconsistent for a team with tremendous potential in this competition. Add to this their first-place finish in the league, and we can undoubtedly speak of a confident team ready to reverse their negative trend at home in this competition. “We’re undoubtedly in excellent form,” he says. Gasperini – and playing this match is fine for us. European matches always help. The only risk is injuries, but in Europe you’ll face opponents you know less and with a different pace. These are teams that know each other less well and force you to find different solutions. It also makes us think less about Sunday’s match against Napoli, a match that everyone is waiting for”.
He was then asked to Gasperini What do you appreciate most about your team’s current positive streak? “I like the atmosphere that’s been created. The best thing right now is the confidence. There’s also a desire to try something new. The players are eager to try more offensive dribbling or even shooting. The same atmosphere is contagious and has grown around the team, beyond the group. It’s a climate of satisfaction, but also of awareness. No one’s making any big announcements; we’re living in the moment and we want to make it last.”
The last question for the coach concerns the situations of the players in doubt for the call-up, with the first mentions regarding precisely Dybala e Bailey, also asking for a thought on the first goal of Ferguson. “Dybala e Bailey We will do everything we can to recover them and have them available. This also applies to Beautiful, we want to have the full team. Ferguson He scored on Sunday and now he has to take a step forward. I’m not talking about the performance, because he’s never lacked willpower, but rather about his conviction.”
