Tottenham Hotspur
The team is trying to stay in the pool of giants of English football. But Pochettino was eventually fired shortly after the Champions League final. His successors did not always achieve similar results in the Premier League, and in the season before last, Spurs were left without a place in the European Cups. Postecoglou, invited in the summer of last year, almost returned his new wards to the top 4, but still Aston Villa turned out to be a little better. As a result, the club from London, which is far from shining in the domestic arena, went to the Europa League. There, Son and company started with a winning streak, successively beating Karabakh, Ferencvaros and AZ. But as soon as a truly serious opponent appeared, Galatasaray, a defeat followed – a trip to Istanbul turned into a 2:3 failure.

Roma
The club has already changed its coach twice in about three months. At the very beginning of autumn, they suddenly decided to shoot their own legend, De Rossi, even if the wolves skidded at the start. But for his successor, Yurich, it was not possible to add to the team, but the Croat quarreled with the players, according to rumors, almost getting into a fight in the locker room with one of his wards during the break of the match with Fiorentina. The current coach, Raniera, who is starting his third term in the country, needs to correct the situation, in particular, in the Europa League. There, so far, the Italians have beaten only the outsider, Dynamo Kyiv, and that was due to Dovbyk’s goal from the penalty spot. Before that, there was a draw with Athletic and even a defeat with Elfsborg. And in the last round, after opening the score in Belgium, they ended up 1:1 with the local Royal Union.
Statistics of personal meetings
There were no official matches. And in friendlies, the wolves have an advantage: a couple of victories for a single defeat.
Forecast
Bookmakers consider the English pair as favorites. If they defeated Manchester City at the weekend, then the Italians must win at home (coefficient – 1.72).
