Prediction: 3-0

CSKA Sofia

Stadio Olimpico will host Thursday’s football game between Roma and CSKA Sofia. The Giallorossi could not have wished for a better start to their Europa League campaign, with the team beating Young Boys on the road. The Serie A outfit have been in a fine form in all competitions of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against CSKA Sofia.

The likes of Zaniolo and Smalling remain in the recovery room, while Diawara and Calafiori are unlikely to feature against CSKA after the duo was tested positive for coronavirus. The Bulgarian outfit failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Cluj, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. Borja Mayoral is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts as Paulo Fonseca will use Europa League games to rest experienced attacker Edin Dzeko.
