AS Roma will travel to the AFAS stadium to take on AZ Alkmaar on matchday seven of the UEFA Europa League. AZ Alkmaar are currently placed 19th in the table and will qualify for the next round as things stand.
With two wins, two draws and two losses, De Kaasboeren have accumulated eight points. However, they will look to finish in the top eight as that will save them an additional knockout game.
AS Roma on the other hand find themselves on the 14th spot. They can jump to eighth place with a win and that will be their objective against AZ Alkmaar.
The Italian giants are struggling for form in Serie A but have shown their immense quality on the European stage. Roma have two wins, three draws, and a loss to their name in the ongoing UEFA Europa League campaign.
Troy Parrott is the top goalscorer for AZ Alkmaar domestically with 10 goals in the 2024/25 Eredivisie campaign. He brings a lot of energy to the team and initiates the press on most occasions. He is also very clinical in front of goal and very rarely misses chances. He will be crucial for the Dutch side against an opponent like Roma.
The Argentine is undoubtedly the most important offensive player for Roma. His technical ability is second to none and he is having yet another incredible season. He has scored three goals and has assisted twice in his previous five matches. Very few players possess the quality to be called ‘Match winners’ but Paulo Dybala is certainly one of them.
Sem Westerveld and Kristijan Belic will be unavailable for the home side as they are still recovering from their long-term injuries.
On the other hand, Bryan Cristante will be sidelined for AS Roma because of his ankle problems.
