AS Roma take on the visitors Sheriff Tiraspol in the round 6 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, December 14th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Roma have struggled to secure a spot in the Champions League for a while now, and even under Jose Mourinho, there has been no change in that regard. Moreover, if there was some progress, albeit small, in the previous season, in the 2022/2023 Serie A, they even slipped in the standings. Currently, there is a chance to finish in the top 4, but it's essential to remember that there were setbacks at the start of the season, and it's uncertain if the Wolves will maintain stability moving forward. The team has performed more successfully on the European stage, winning the UEFA Conference League in 2022. In the last edition, they narrowly lost the Europa League final to Sevilla via a penalty shootout. In the current season, they started well by winning all three initial matches. However, realizing that they cannot advance further, Lukaku and company seemed to lower their intensity, losing to Slavia Prague and drawing 1-1 with Servette.

Sheriff are having a season to forget. The yellow-blacks are undoubtedly considered the flagship of Moldovan football, occasionally compared to PSG due to being head and shoulders above their domestic competitors (though they sometimes manage to concede the top spot to a particularly persistent rival). However, the scale of the project in Tiraspol is not as extensive as in Paris. Their maximum success remains a sole participation in the group stage of the Champions League. In 2021, as debutants, they performed admirably, defeating Real Madrid and comfortably surpassing Shakhtar to claim the 3rd spot. In the subsequent edition, Moldova's flagship failed to qualify, but they secured the 3rd place in the Europa League, narrowly missing out on the Conference League playoff against Nice. Currently, their achievements are meager: a tense extra-time qualification past Farul in the Champions League qualifiers and eliminating BATE and KI Klaksvik in the Europa League. However, in the group stage, even with a change in coach from Bordian to Pilipchuk, the Wasps managed only one draw, against Servette at home, concluding in a 1-1 tie with the Swiss, thanks to Anike's goal in the 80th minute. There is no chance for them to secure even the 3rd position, leaving them to fight for remnants of their reputation.
In September, the Yellow-Reds managed by Jose Mourinho visited Tiraspol for the first time. The Wolves are undoubtedly the clear favorites, but they are pragmatic and have nothing to fight for in this scenario. On the other hand, the Wasps want to achieve at least something in their final appearance. We recommend betting on Sheriff's victory with a handicap of +2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Sheriff Tiraspol to win with +2.5 handicap.
