On Thursday Feb 23rd, Roma will host Salzburg at Stadio Olimpico in a meeting of these two Europa League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Roma is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Hellas Verona. Ola Solbakken scored the first goal for Roma in the 45th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Hellas Verona was frustrated by Roma’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Roma ended the match with the shutout victory. Roma should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches, while salzburg is fresh off their 3-1 win against Wattens. Kofi Schulz struck first for Salzburg on an own goal in the 45th minute, then Sesko added another in the 56th minute on a feed from Junior Chikwubuike Adamu. Salzburg looks to continue their winning ways, having won 7 of their last 10.
On the 16th of February, Salzburg hosted Roma at the Red Bull Arena in their last match together. Salzburg was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Nicolás Capaldo scored the first goal for Salzburg in the 88th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Roma was frustrated by Salzburg’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Salzburg ended the match with the shutout victory.
Salzburg is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Fernando and Nicolás Capaldo each having 2 goals in their last 5. Andrea Belotti and Tammy Abraham are the top scorers for Roma in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
