AS Roma vs Viktoria Plzen Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Europa League 2025-26

The previous confrontation between these teams ended in favour of the Viktorka.

AS Roma will lock horns with Viktoria Plzen for their round 3 league phase fixture of the 2025-26 UEFA Europa League. This is going to be an intense fixture between these sides, which will take place at the Stadio Olimpico.

The Serie A side AS Roma have come up with some inconsistent performances in their last few games. Despite being at home, they will not feel fully confident.

They defeated OGC Nice in their opening game of the European competition, but then fell prey to LOSC Lille in their next match. The hosts must come up with a different approach this time.

Rafiu Durosinmi (Viktoria Plzen)
