AS Roma look for first win in pre-season friendlies.

The lamentation over Jose Mourinho’s departure lingers unassuaged for AS Roma supporters since last season. To exacerbate the turmoil further, Roma failed to make it to the UEFA Champions League despite Italian clubs getting an additional berth. The Giallorossi had to settle for just a Europa League berth after finishing sixth last season in the Italian top division. Daniele De Rossi will be keen to get the ball rolling and secure his first pre-season win when his side faces Toulouse in the upcoming fixture.

Toulouse, on the other hand, found themselves lingering in the bottom half of the Ligue 1 table last season after winning just 11 matches out of 34. Les Violets kicked off their pre-season campaign with a win over Rodez and earned a 2-2 draw against Pau in their previous fixture. The Pink City-based outfit are unbeaten in their friendly fixtures so far. Carles Novelli will look forward to extending his team’s unbeaten streak when his side clashes with AS Roma.

Expect an action-packed and breathtaking duel in this upcoming match as both teams are equally good at getting the better of each other.

Players to Watch:

Evan Ndicka (AS Roma)

The Ivory Coast international and Auxerre graduate has been an impregnable bedrock fortifying the defensive unit. After playing almost a double century of matches for Eintracht Frankfurt, Ndicka decided to ply his trade in the Italian top division. He signed for AS Roma in the previous season and made 34 appearances. For revealing a remarkable standard of footballing artistry, Ndicka was inducted into the Bundesliga Team of the Season in 2022.

Zakaria Aboukhlal (Toulouse)

The 24-year-old Moroccan international made 69 appearances for AZ Alkmaar before moving to the French top division. Zakaria Aboukhlal has also played 21 matches for his country and netted three goals so far. Toulouse fans will never forget that 79th-minute goal from Aboukhlal that led them to Coupe de France triumph in the finals by getting the better of defending champions, Nantes.
