AS Roma have the chance to go top of Group G of the Europa League when they host Slavia Prague. This Match Day 3 clash pits the two leading sides, Slavia Prague top and Roma second. Both teams have six points, which makes this battle even more interesting. Coming into this game, Roma left it late to beat Monza 1-0 in the Italian Serie A. That was their fourth straight win and third clean sheet in that run. Roma have only conceded once in their last four matches. Their run is even better at home, having won each of their last four matches, all with clean sheets. They have scored 14 times in their last four home matches, that includes a 4-0 win over Servette in this group. In the Europa League at home, the Italians are unbeaten in six, winning all.
Slavia Prague have had a great start to the Europa League as well. In their opening two matches, they posted straight wins. On Match Day 1 they saw off Servette 2-0 before thrashing Sheriff 6-0 on Match Day 2. Those two wins are part of a nine-game unbeaten run that they carry to this game. In four of their last five matches, Slavia Prague have kept clean sheets. In this run, they will come into this game confident of stopping their hosts. However, Slavia Prague do not carry to this clash a strong away run in the Europa League. They have just a win in the last five matches in the competition. Slavia Prague have lost four times in the last 10 away matches in Europa League. This will be the major concern they carry here.
AS Roma playing at home, come into this game as outright favorites. They have the better run in this competition and have done well in their recent matches too. Slavia Prague have struggled in away Europa League games, and that could extend here. Our prediction for Roma v Slavia Prague is for Roma to win.
