AS Roma take on the visitors Servette in the round 2 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 5th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Roma, through its board, have given Mourinho another chance. It seems that the Giallorossi simply don't want to admit that they made a mistake by bringing the Special One back to Italy. The only season that can be counted in Mourinho's favor was his first season in Rome in 2021/2022. During that season, there was progress in terms of league position in Serie A, and they won the Conference League. However, they failed to achieve their primary goal: returning to the Champions League. In the previous footballing year, they struggled both in Serie A and ultimately lost the decisive match in the Europa League. Despite the less than auspicious start of the new campaign, Mourinho is still trusted in the Italian capital. At least they managed to defeat Sheriff 2-1 in Tiraspol in the Europa League.

Servette, under a new manager, is not making an impressive impact. The Grenats were crowned Swiss champions 17 times and were one of Switzerland's top teams in the last century. However, they faced long and dramatic financial struggles in recent years. Last season's vice-championship signaled that the prolonged crisis was finally behind them. However, after guiding the team to this height, their long-time manager, Geiger, departed. Under the new coach, Wyler, they have failed to deliver the same level of football. They managed to pass the first opponent, Genk, in the Champions League qualifiers, but only on penalties. However, they then lost to Rangers. In the Europa League, they started with a 0-2 defeat against Slavia Prague at home.
On Thursday, the teams will face each other for the first time. The Wolves, despite their problems, are undoubtedly stronger and should confirm it with a victory. We expect that they will be able to secure a win with a -2.0 goals handicap in this match.
Prediction for the match: AS Roma to win with -2.0 handicap.
