Roma have all to play for in Group G of the Europa League when they host Sheriff on Match Day 6. Coming into this game, Roma are second while Sheriff are bottom of the group. Roma’s haul of 10 points leaves them two points behind leaders Slavia Prague. As it is, Roma would be playing a Champions League team in the Europa League playoffs. To avoid that tricky route, Roma must win here. That may however not be enough, as they’ll also need Slavia Prague to lose to Servette. It may be a tough prayer for Roma, as Servette have already secured third place and may feel the need to rest players. Failing to win in their last two group games has been a major undoing for Roma. Now their fate isn’t in their hands but they can rely on recent form to inject confidence. With two men sent off in their last game, Roma held on to draw 1-1 with Fiorentina. That result not only saw them stay fourth but also was their fifth straight unbeaten game. They are unbeaten in eight home matches, winning seven.

Sheriff will not progress in Europe no matter the outcome here. They could try to frustrate Roma, who beat them 2-1 in the first meeting. Sheriff, unlike Roma, aren’t enjoying an unbeaten run. They are coming from straight losses in their last two games, conceding six times in the process. Sheriff have suffered three defeats in the last five matches. They lost to Roma 2-1 at home in the first meeting in this group. That was one of their five winless outings in this group. Sheriff have failed to match the energies of their previous European competitions. Here they come seeking a first win in the group on Match Day 6 and they’ve conceded 14 in five matches. Away from home in the Europa League, Sheriff have been poor, failing to win in six. They also failed to score in five of 10 away matches in Europa League.
