Tottenham Hotspur vs AS Roma Match Prediction, Fantasy Football Tips and Possible Starting XI

After the electrifying drama of Champions League Gameweek 5, football fans can gear up for another dose of action with some thrilling Europa League matchups. The stage is set, and the excitement is palpable as we look ahead to a lineup of mouthwatering clashes. But all roads lead to North London for the headline act of Gameweek 5—Tottenham Hotspur versus AS Roma.

Fresh off a stunning 4-0 triumph over Manchester City, Spurs head into this Europa League showdown brimming with confidence. Ange Postecoglou’s side delivered a masterclass at the Etihad on Saturday, with James Maddison bagging a brace and Brennan Johnson and Pedro Porro adding the finishing touches to a perfect evening for the Lilywhites. That statement win over City couldn’t have come at a better time, especially after the disappointment of a surprising 2-1 loss to Ipswich Town. But with a customary win against City in the bag, Tottenham can approach tonight’s crunch clash against Roma in high spirits.  

Tottenham have started their Europa League campaign on the front foot, claiming three straight wins in their opening matches. However, a lackluster showing against Turkish champions Galatasaray saw them suffer their first loss of the competition. Despite the hiccup, Spurs still find themselves in a strong position, sitting in 6th place with 9 points. A victory tonight would not only erase any lingering doubts but also send a powerful message that they are serious contenders for European glory. 

In stark contrast to Tottenham’s current predicament, Roma are in crisis mode as they head into tonight's must-win clash, and the pressure is mounting. After a disastrous start to the season, the Giallorossi have already parted ways with two managers—Daniele Di Rossi and Ivan Juric—before bringing in the experienced Claudio Ranieri to try and steady the ship. In Serie A, Roma are floundering in 12th place, with six losses from 13 games and a recent run of four defeats in their last five outings. Their form has been a shadow of the team that once competed at the top, and it’s clear something needs to change fast. 

In Europe, their struggles are no different. With just five points from four games, Roma find themselves sitting dangerously in 19th place in the Europa League. Another loss tonight would leave them with slim hopes of reaching the knockout rounds, putting their European ambitions in serious jeopardy. It’s crunch time for the Giallorossi—will Ranieri’s experience be enough to inspire a much-needed turnaround, or will their dismal season continue to spiral?
