Match Prediction: Roma vs. Midtjylland
Though Roma didn't showcase their best in the first four group stage matches, the team is certainly aiming to advance to the playoffs and intends to play for maximum results in front of their fans. Therefore, we can expect an effective attacking performance from Roma, especially since they have not struggled with scoring at home: in their last 28 home Europa League matches, the Italians only left the pitch without scoring twice.
Midtjylland also tends to play aggressively, even on the road. In their last seven away Europa League matches, the team failed to score only once, and in the other six encounters during this period, the Danes scored at least two goals. Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, the club has the best scoring record in the group stage (11 goals).
I believe both teams will effectively showcase their attacking prowess, so my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
