Match Overview

Tottenham Hotspur hosts AS Roma at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on November 28, 2024, in a critical Europa League encounter. The game kicks off at 20:00 UTC and is pivotal for both teams aiming for progress in the competition.

Team Form and Analysis

Tottenham enters this clash under significant pressure, having suffered defeats against Galatasaray and Man City in recent outings. Manager Ange Postecoglou will be eager to reverse the team's fortunes, as Spurs have lost three of their last five matches across all competitions​ (Squawka , Oddspedia). Despite recent struggles, Tottenham is favored to win, with odds suggesting a strong likelihood of a positive result.

AS Roma, led by interim manager Claudio Ranieri, has also struggled for consistency. They currently sit 13th in Serie A and have managed only two wins in their last nine matches. Injuries to key players like Paulo Dybala have compounded their woes, although Lorenzo Pellegrini and Alexis Saelemaekers are expected to bolster their lineup for this match​ (Squawka , Oddspedia).

Key Players to Watch

• Tottenham: James Maddison and Son Heung-min remain pivotal in creating scoring opportunities. Their ability to exploit Roma's defensive frailties will be crucial.
• Roma: Lorenzo Pellegrini’s creativity and leadership in midfield could be decisive for the visitors.

Head-to-Head

This will be the first-ever competitive meeting between the two clubs. Tottenham has historically struggled against Italian teams, with only six wins in 21 encounters against Serie A sides​ (Squawka).
