In the
current season’s Europa League group stage, FC Sheriff have been drawn into the
same group as Roma, Slavia Prague, and Servette. Sheriff represent a strong
team from Moldova, but in the context of their group, their overall strength
may not be considered outstanding and could even be viewed as a weaker team.
However, it’s worth noting that in their recent league match against FC
Floresti, Sheriff emerged victorious with a 5-1 scoreline at home. This win
follows a streak of two consecutive victories in all competitions, indicating
that they are currently in good form.
During this
year’s summer transfer window, Roma made significant signings, including
powerful players such as Sardar Azmoun, Romelu Lukaku, and Evan N’Dicka.
However, their start to the season was not satisfactory. In their recent league
match against Empoli, Roma secured a resounding 7-0 victory at home. This win
marked their first victory of the season and served as a tremendous morale
boost for them. There are high expectations for the new forward line consisting
of Lukaku, Paulo Dybala, and Andrea Belotti. Their presence brings excitement
and anticipation for Roma’s attacking potential.
Based on the
information provided, it is evident that Roma hold a significant advantage in
terms of overall strength compared to Sheriff. Additionally, Roma’s recent
resounding victory in Serie A has likely boosted their morale and confidence.
Given the perceived gap in strength between the two sides, it is expected that
Roma, who seem to have regained their form, will likely secure a victory in the
away game and make a positive start in the group stage.
