Europa League
Roma and Plzen met four times, and the Italian team was more successful in winning two encounters. Plzen won once, while there was a draw in the first meeting in 2016 in the Europa League. The teams last met in the 2018/19 Champions League, when the Czech side won 2-1 at the home stadium. Another interesting fact about matches between these two teams is that the previous three H2H games ended with three or more goals.
AS Roma team overview
AS Roma's only Serie A trophy in the 21st century came in 2001. Since then, they haven't had too many successes. However, the club from the Italian capital city is almost regularly among the top six Serie A teams. AS Roma started the 2025/26 season well with 15 points from seven rounds in the Italian top flight, while in the Europa League, they should be in contention for the top eight teams in the regular season. Although Gian Piero Gasperini's team is playing overall well, they have lost two of the last three matches. Last weekend, AS Roma lost 1-0 at home against Inter Milan. The home side ended that match with xG of 1.35, while the guests had 0.63, so Gasperini's team surely deserved at least one point.
AS Roma lost against Inter, but that kind of performance left the head coach pleased. After the game, Gasperini commented, "You emerge from these defeats with something more in terms of conviction. We're convinced we'll do well this year; if you play like this against Inter, it means you have a chance of doing well."
Angelino and Edoardo Bove are unavailable and will not play on Thursday against Plzen.

Plzen team overview
In recent decades, Plzen became one of the top Czech teams. This season, they probably will not be part of the title race, as Martin Hysky's team is already eight points behind the league leader, Sparta Prague. While things are not the best in the Czech league, Plzen opened the Europa League with four points from the first two rounds. Hysky's team is undefeated in the last three matches. In the previous game, they won 1-0 on the road against Bohemians.
Plzen didn't play well in the Czech league this season, so the board sacked the head coach, Miroslav Koubek, and appointed Martin Hysky. In the first game under Hysky, Plzen won against Bohemians, but they didn't impress.
Jan Kopic, Denis Visinsky, and Florian Wiegele are injured, while Merchas Doski is suspended for the upcoming game in Rome. Also, Adekunle Durosinmi and Jiri Panos are questionable and their status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.
