At the Stadio Olimpico on 27 November 2025, AS Roma host FC Midtjylland in a key Champions League clash between two sides with very different trajectories so far.
Midtjylland Arrive as the Only Perfect Team
Midtjylland enter the match as the only team in the group with a perfect record - four wins from four games - and logically sit at the top. They show an excellent balance between defence and attack, looking compact at the back while remaining efficient and direct going forward. However, this time they face an opponent who rarely allows their home matches to turn into open, chaotic battles.
Roma Rely on a Pragmatic Home Approach
Roma sit surprisingly low in the standings at 18th place, which increases the pressure on this fixture. At home, however, they consistently adopt a pragmatic and calculated approach. Their recent European matches at the Olimpico show a team that avoids unnecessary risks: slower tempo, controlled possession, compact defending and carefully chosen attacking moments. This style often keeps matches tight and allows Roma to chase narrow, low-scoring wins.
Prediction: 1-0
Midtjylland are in top form, but Roma’s home discipline and defensive structure usually succeed in neutralising more dynamic opponents. Given Roma’s urgent need for points and their tendency to keep things tight at the Olimpico, a minimal home victory appears the most realistic scenario.
