Roma-Eintracht Frankfurt on TV: time and probable formations

Rome, January 30, 2025 – A victory allows you to put your head aside and prepare yourself mentally for a very tough play-off round, on the contrary it will be necessary to keep an eye on the scoreboard to know your destiny. Rome has the future in his hands, but to make it happen he needs a great night inside his stadium. On the last day of the championship phase at the Olimpico comes the second in the standings,Eintracht Frankfurt, for a thriller challenge that for the Giallorossi already smells of do or die. The Giallorossi currently sit in twenty-first place in the standings, maintaining a margin of just one point over Harbour, first excluded and in order not to make calculations about their participation in the play-offs for the eighth finals, can only allow themselves the victory. The match will be played at 21pm on Thursday 30 January, like all the challenges of this last day of Europa League.

Nine points obtained in seven days despite an easy schedule, Roma certainly cannot say they are satisfied with this first part of Europa League. Regardless of what the fate of the Capitoline team will be in this competition, the team's season in Europe perfectly reflects the same difficulties they had this season. From the debut with a draw againstAthletic Club of Bilbao, to the bad draw obtained in Belgium against a beatable Royal Union Saint-Gilloise, up to the heavy away defeats against Elfsborg e AZ Alkmaar. Many, too many points lost along the way, for a team like that of Ranieri whose goal is necessarily to return to being a protagonist in the final episodes of the tournament, as it was in the 2023 final or in last year's semi-final. To get there, however, first you have to survive this night of football, of passion. Even in previous editions, the Giallorossi reached the end of the competition by going through the play-offs, after having failed to win a group that on paper was easy. A success against theEintracht It would allow us not to have to speculate on the results of our rivals, but even a draw could be enough to secure a place in the 24.

On the other hand, the German team does not want to give discounts. The surprising team is proving to be a great protagonist not only in the Europa League, where it has become the first pursuer of the Lazio, Together with Bilbao, ma anche in Bundesliga, where they are currently the third force in the championship. However, the winter market has not been passed through unscathed by the German red and whites. With goals Omar marmoush was dragging the team both at home and in Europe, but the Manchester City has invested 75 million to have him pack his bags and leave Germany. For now Ekitiké has taken care of scoring the goals for the twenty-five year old Egyptian, but on the last day an unexpected stop came againstHoffenheim. Not only this, if we analyse the calendar of the red and whites in this Europa League, up to this point the Rome is on paper the strongest opponent that the Germans will meet in this first part, thus being able to hypothesize a ranking slightly facilitated by a benevolent draw. Having the pass to the eighth-finals substantially already in hand, who knows if they can't arrive at the Olimpico with the idea of ​​managing their physical and mental energies in view of their European pursuit in Bundesliga.

For the challenge at the Olimpico between Rome e Frankfurt la Uefa he chose the Slovenian as referee Rade Obrenovic. The Balkan referee will be assisted by his fellow Slovenians Jure Praprotnik and Grega Kordez, with the fourth official another Slovenian in David Smajc. In the VAR room the Frenchman Jérome Brisard will follow the match, with the Dutchman Rob Dieperink. For the referee born in Ljubljana it will be the second match of the season in Europa League, to which he adds 3 of Champions League and 2 by Nations League. In addition to these UEFA matches, he also refereed 8 matches in the Slovenian championship, as well as matches in Hellenic Super League, Cyprus Championship, Saudi Pro League e King's Cup (Saudi Arabia Cup), where he has refereed one for each competition, reaching a total of 18 this year. Absolute debut for Obrenovic both with the Rome, both with theEintracht, but in the past there has been a crossover between the Giallorossi Primavera and the match director, in the Youth league of 2017-18: then the young players from the capital lost 1-2 against the youth teams ofAtletico Madrid.
