AS Roma faces a must-win match against Eintracht Frankfurt to ensure qualification for the Europa League knockout stages. They are currently at risk of early elimination, something they haven't experienced in a decade. Despite recent struggles, including a disappointing loss to AZ Alkmaar and a mixed league performance, Roma's strong home record provides some hope. Coach Claudio Ranieri is expected to field his strongest team after finally securing an away victory, though historical challenges against German teams persist as a concern for the Italian side.
As their inconsistent campaign nears its climax, Roma risk an early exit from European competition for the first time since their Champions League group-stage elimination a decade ago.
Roma can take confidence from their strong home record - losing just three of their last 45 European games while winning 33 - they have struggled against German opposition.
Following their setback in Alkmaar, Roma returned to domestic action on Sunday and finally ended a 13-game wait for an away victory by defeating Udinese 2-1.
Despite their poor performance, Roma still holds the advantage in their own hands, needing a victory against Eintracht Frankfurt to secure progression in the Europa League.
