Rangers vs AS Roma Preview

 

Rangers welcome AS Roma to Ibrox Stadium on Thursday evening for a Europa League encounter between two sides enduring inconsistent form. The Gers have recorded two victories, two defeats and one draw from their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing ended in a 3-1 away defeat at Celtic in the Scottish League Cup. Prior to that, they secured a 1-0 away win at Hibernian and a 3-1 home victory over Kilmarnock, both in the Scottish Premiership. Earlier in this sequence, they suffered a 3-0 away loss to SK Brann in the Europa League and played out a 2-2 home draw with Dundee United. This mixed bag of results suggests a team struggling for consistency, particularly in European competition where they’ve already dropped points.

The visitors arrive in Glasgow in similarly patchy form, having won two and lost three of their last five fixtures. AS Roma lost their most recent match 1-0 away at AC Milan in Serie A. Prior to that, they had secured back-to-back victories with a 2-1 home win over Parma and a 1-0 away triumph at Sassuolo, both in Serie A. Earlier in this sequence, they suffered defeats to Viktoria Plzen (2-1 at home in the Europa League) and Internazionale (1-0 at home in Serie A). This run demonstrates Roma’s inconsistency, with their ability to win matches undermined by costly defeats both domestically and in Europe. The Italian side will be desperate to return to winning ways on Scottish soil.

The head-to-head record between these two clubs is non-existent, as they have never previously met in competitive action. This adds an element of intrigue to Thursday’s Europa League fixture, with both teams entering completely uncharted territory. Rangers will be eager to use the passionate Ibrox atmosphere to their advantage and establish dominance in this maiden competitive meeting, while AS Roma will look to prove their Serie A pedigree against Scottish opposition. The lack of historical context means neither side carries any psychological baggage from previous encounters, making for an unpredictable clash between two teams desperately seeking consistency and momentum in European competition.
