"In what is a heavyweight Europa League showdown on Thursday evening, Roma will welcome Lille to the Stadio Olimpico for a battle between two potential title contenders. Signing off the 2024/25 campaign in the midst of what was a real purple patch, Roma have only continued on from where they left off prior to the summer break and they are certainly enjoying life under new boss Gian Piero Gasperini."
"Only getting a new era underway over the summer following Gasperini's arrival at the Stadio Olimpico, Roma are clearly enjoying life under the former Atalanta boss. With only their goal difference keeping them off the top of the Serie A standings, Thursday's hosts have rightfully received plenty of plaudits from across the continent and they should be dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine European charge this year."
