Tottenham-Roma: Ranieri returns to England in search of three points. Lineups and TV schedules

London 27 November 2024 – Three points to straighten out the season, break a taboo that has lasted since the beginning of the year and put important points in their European ranking, which is not as rosy as one might have expected at the starting line. Rome fly to London where at New White Hart Lane he will face the Tottenham in a top-level challenge for the prestige of the two teams, but which in fact is worth important points to secure a place among the teams that will play at least the play-offs for the eighth finals of the competition. Kick-off in the English capital is scheduled for 21 pm.

Il Tottenham is hunting for redemption in Europe. After a couple of years of absence, under the guidance of Ange Postecoglu, the London club managed to find Europe again, even if it was not a question of Champions League. This however has motivated the Australian coach, who wants a team capable of being a protagonist and trying to break the streak of titles that has seen the Spurs dry for 16 years. The first days of Europa League from the English team were convincing: three wins in as many games, with a couple of authoritative performances such as the clear 3-0 win over Qarabag in numerical inferiority. After such an exciting start, however, an unexpected defeat arrived, with the defeat suffered in Istanbul by 3-2 against Galatasaray driven by former Italian league players Mauro Icardi e Victor Osimhen. This international setback did not have any particular repercussions at home, where the team continued to maintain its position at the top of the table, also overcoming with a peremptory 0-4 away win over Manchester City in the last game in Premier League.

A business card that is anything but reassuring for the Rome, which on the contrary is experiencing a deep crisis, which has even sucked it to just three points from the relegation zone. Not only that, the Giallorossi have not yet won this season away from the Olimpico, with their last away victory dating back to April of last year. Not only that, tomorrow's match will see the return to the bench in a competition Uefa for Claudio Ranieri, already the third man in charge as Giallorossi coach since the start of the season, testifying to the great difficulties in getting along that the Giallorossi are finding this season. The first for the new coach was negative, with the defeat against Napoli di Tale, but there have been some small changes in the team's attitude and solidity. The coach has given more responsibility to the team's veterans, in the hope that they can use their experience to lead their teammates. Many of them have already been protagonists with Mourinho of the latest beautiful continental experiences, who knows, maybe the Europa League could be the one to break this curse that seems to afflict the Giallorossi.
