Roma’s season got off to a turbulent start, resulting in the dismissal of both Daniele De Rossi and his successor, Ivan Jurić. In a bid to stabilize the team, the club turned to legendary coach Claudio Ranieri, and his impact has been evident. Roma now sits in 9th place in Serie A with 30 points, closing the gap to the top four to just nine points.
Last weekend, the Giallorossi finally broke their long-standing away drought in Serie A, securing a 2-1 victory over Udinese, with both goals coming from penalties. Prior to that, they managed a hard-fought 2-1 win against Genoa, played out a 2-2 draw with Bologna, and claimed a crucial 2-0 triumph in the Derby della Capitale against Lazio.
In the Europa League, Roma’s progress seemed assured, but a shocking away defeat to AZ Alkmaar last week complicated their situation. With only three points, they currently occupy 21st place. A loss to Eintracht Frankfurt could see them fall out of the top 24, making this a must-win encounter.
Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, is enjoying a stellar campaign. The German club sits third in the Bundesliga with 37 points, firmly in contention for a Champions League spot, holding a five-point cushion over fifth place.
Though they ended 2024 with mixed results, Eintracht has started 2025 in impressive fashion. A 2-2 draw against Hoffenheim last weekend followed a trio of dominant victories: a 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund, a 4-1 thrashing of Freiburg, and a hard-fought 1-0 triumph away to St. Pauli.
In the Europa League, Eintracht has already booked their place in the Round of 16. They currently sit second in the group with 16 points, having comfortably dispatched Ferencváros 2-0 in the previous round.
