Servette will be at home to take on Roma on Match Day 5 of the Europa League this Thursday. The two sides are five points apart; Roma second with nine points and Servette third. Finishing third will not be ideal for Servette as it will mean dropping down to the Conference League. in a worst case scenario they’ll want to finish second, even if it means going through the knockout play-offs. To get there, they’ll want to close the gap by winning here. Any other result other than a win here will leave Servette fighting for a third placed finish. They suffered a 4-0 loss to Roma in the first meeting and will want to revenge here. Servette take to this game a run of four straight wins and two clean sheets in five matches. The 2-0 win over Grasshoppers last time out marked the fourth straight game in which they scored more than a goal.

Roma will be targeting a win, hoping to go top of the group ahead of Match Day 6. They are tied at nine points with leaders Slavia Prague, who face struggling Sheriff. Finishing second in this group will not work well for Roma. If it comes to that ending, they’ll have to fight for their place in the knockout play-offs. Roma haven't been consistent coming into this game, but they warmed up for it with a win. They beat Udinese 3-1 for their first win in three matches. It was also the first time in the three matches that they managed to score. Three times in their last five matches, Roma failed to score and this will be a big worry for Jose Mourinho. Roma missed the chance to open a three-point gap at the top after losing to Slavia Prague last time out. Finalists in this competition last year, Roma will wish to avoid the second round playoffs. It means they’ll go for a win here but their away form isn’t the best. Roma have no win in three away matches, losing two and failing to score in three.
