FC Midtjylland is the only team left in the Europa League with a 100% record and AS Roma will be trying to end that when they meet on Thursday in the Match-Day 5 on the competition, Softfootball reports.
The Danish club has picked up some interesting wins in the competition already apart from the 3-1 victory over Celtic before the international break. Midtjylland defeat Nottingham Forest at the City Ground earlier in the competition.
As Roma are not having the best of campaigns in the competition after two wins and two defeats left them with just six points, they are calling their fans via their official X handle to come support the team by getting tickets for the game. They posted:
There are still tickets available for the match at the Stadio Olimpico against Midtjylland 💛❤️

— AS Roma English (@ASRomaEN) November 23, 2025Gian Gasperini’s men have endured some poor results so far in the competition. Roma lost at home to Viktoria Plzeň and would not want that to repeat itself in this fixture.
Head-to-Head
AS Roma and FC Midtjylland have never played against each other in the European competition and it will be the first time they are facing each other at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday.
Star Player
Argentine World Cup winner, Paulo Dybala maybe injury prone but he is one of the best players in the squad and a key figure for Gasperini anytime he is fit and they would count on his creativity against the Dabish side on Thursday.
Guinea-Bissau star Franculino has scored three goals in the Europa League and they would rely on him for goals against AS Roma. He can be deadly on his day and one the Italians must look out for.
Team News
Paulo Dybala and Leon Bailey could be available but may have to start from the bench with Roma facing defending Scudetto champions Napoli at the weekend in the Derby del Sole.
Angelino and Artem Dovbyk are still ruled out.This means, Evan Ferguson is favourite to lead Roma’s attack, having finally ended his club goal drought on Sunday.
For FC Midtjylland, red-hot Franculino will lead the attack while Billing and Croatian centre-back Erlic will return to Italy, where they previously played for Napoli and Bologna respectively.
Edward Chilufya and Adam Gabriel are still unavailable due to injury, while ex-Arsenal goalkeeper Ovie Ejeheri remains a doubt.
Roma possible Probable XI:
Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Ndicka; Wesley, Cristante, El Aynaoui, Tsimikas; Soule, Pellegrini; Ferguson.
FC Midtjylland Probable XI:
Olafsson; Lee, Erlic, Bech; Mbabu, Billing, Castillo, Simsir; Cho, Osorio; Franculino.
Softfootball Prediction
This is a game between two teams that loves to attack but the injuries to Roma gives the advantage to the Danish club in this matchup. AS Roma 1-2 FC Midtjylland.
