Trabzonspor – Roma
19.08.2021
Roma begin their European sojourn this season with a trip to Turkey, where Trabzonspor host them at the Senol Gunes Spor Komplexi Stadyum on Thursday. The pair will vie for the opportunity to play in the group stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League, with the loser set to be without European football for the year. Trabzonspor qualified for the third round of UEFA Europa Conference League qualification on account of finishing fourth in the Turkish Super Lig last season. They faced Molde, with the tie finishing 4-4 on aggregate, and winning 4-3 on penalties.
Roma, on the other hand, are yet to face competitive action under Jose Mourinho The Italian side’s pre-season efforts involved four wins, two draws and a heavy 2-5 loss to Real Betis.
Roma and Trabzonspor have not met in official UEFA competitions to date, with this being the first meeting between the two clubs. We expect a tough, even contest, with Roma eventually grabbing a late winner.
This match will be played on 19/08/2021 at 20:30.
