Overview
Tottenham are in high spirits after a 4-0 win over Man City in the Premier League. Spurs' defense had a focused day, while creating a solid foundation for the attack to score continuously.
Coach Ange Postecoglou's team will enter the match against AS Roma with high spirits and aim for their third victory in this year's Europa League.
Meanwhile, despite changing coaches, Roma have yet to change their fortunes. In the first match under new coach Claudio Ranieri, the Olimpico team lost with a minimum score to Napoli. This was also Roma's 5th defeat in the last 6 rounds of Serie A, causing them to rank in the bottom half of the rankings.
Roma's situation in the Europa League is not much better when they have only won 1 match after the first 4 rounds.
Despite losing goalkeeper Vicario due to injury, Tottenham still received good news when Cristian Romero is likely to return to add steel to the defense. Meanwhile, the attack line with stars Son Heung-min, Johnson, Solanke, Kulusevski and Maddison promises to make Roma's defense struggle to defend.
Meanwhile, despite also possessing a lot of talent, Roma has not performed up to expectations since the beginning of the season. Therefore, experts believe that Tottenham is the superior team compared to a Roma that is still in crisis. If they perform at their best, victory is within reach for Spurs.
This will be the first time Tottenham and Roma have met in a competitive match. However, Spurs have played 10 previous home games against Italian sides, winning five, drawing four and losing one.
Meanwhile, Roma have only won 1 of their 23 away matches in England.
Human resources situation
Fraser Forster will start in goal for Tottenham to replace the injured Vicario.
On the other side of the front line, Roma almost has the strongest force for this match.
Expected lineup:
Tottenham: Forster, Spence, Dragusin, Davies, Gray, Sarr, Bentancur, Bergvall, Johnson, Solanke, Werner.
Roma: Svilar, Celik, Mancini, Hummels, Angelino, Soule, Baldanzi, Cristante, Zalewski, Dybala, Dovbyk.
The match between Tottenham and Roma takes place at 3:00 a.m. on November 29 (Vietnam time).
