Milan, 23 October 2024 - In the three days of great European football there is also space for Europe League. The third day starts this afternoon: at 16.30 the challenge between Galatasaray and Elfsborg, at 18.45 Braga-Bodo Glimt. All the other matches, as usual, are scheduled for Thursday, with the Rome which houses the Dynamo Kiev at 18.45 and Lazio will take to the field against Twente at 21. For the Giallorossi, stuck at one point in the standings, it is forbidden to make mistakes: against the Ukrainians they must get their first three points of this tournament. The situation is different for the team of Baroni, first with full points: the biancocelesti flywheel in Hollandto seek continuity and gain other precious points in view of qualification. Among the challenges to follow, the one between the for Fenerbahce di Mourinho and the Manchester United by Ten Hag, Tottenham host AZ Alkmaar and Porto-Hoffenheim.

Rome, victory is needed against Dinamo

After a complicated start, with one point gained in two days, the men of Juric have only one result available: victory. If in the debut against the athletic Bilbao a good draw had arrived, the bad defeat against the Swedes of Elfsborg has put Roma in a bad position in the standings. Fueling rumours of a possible dismissal of the Croatian coach (who replaced De Rossi). Against the Dynamo Kiev - team defeated by Lazio in their debut and still at zero points - therefore a redemption is needed. The match is within the reach of Dovbyk and his teammates, who want to start again even after the defeat in the championship against Inter. For this reason there will not be much room for rotation: Juric wants ready players on the pitch. So here is Svilar between the posts, N'Dicka, Mancini and Hummels (it would be his absolute debut with the Roma shirt) in defense, Angelino and Abdulhamid on the wings, Pisilli and Le Fée in the middle, Dovbyk up front supported by Soulè and Baldanzi. The Ukrainian coach Shovkovskiy should instead focus on 4-3-3 with Bushchan in goal, Karaiev, Popov, Bilovar and Dubinchak behind, Shaparenko, Brazhko and Mykhailenko in midfield, Voloshyn, Vanat and Kabaiev in the attacking trident. Below are the probable formations of the challenge.

Rome (3-4-2-1): Svilar; N'Dicka, Mancini, Hummels; Angelino, Pisilli, Le Fée, Abdulhamid; Baldanzi, Soulè; Dovbyk

Dynamo Kyiv (4-3-3): Bushchan; Karaiev, Popov, Bilovar, Dubinchak; Shaparenko, Brazhko; Mykhailenko; Voloshyn, Vanat, Kabayev

Lazio, aiming for three out of three

Consolidate the first place in the standings and find continuity of play and results. This is the objective of the Lazio di Baroni, engaged in the away match in Enschede, home of the Twente. In the first two days the Biancocelesti have won and convinced, scoring seven goals in total and conceding only one: 3-0 in the debut against Dinamo, 4-1 in the second against Nice. A perfect path so far, shared with four other teams. The objective of Castilians and his teammates must therefore go directly to the eighth finals, finishing in the top eight at the end of this phase. Against the Dutch team Twente, stuck at two points in the standings, the fans expect another victory. Baroni will continue with his turnover calibrated, to manage the forces after the defeat in the championship against Juventus and arrive in the best possible way to the next one with Genoa. In defense, in front of Provedel, so let's make room for Marusic, Leg, Romagnoli and Pellegrini; the midfield will consist of Vecino and Rovella, while Tchaouna, Dele-Bashiru and Pedro should play behind Dia. The Dutch, trained by Oosting, should take the field with the same module. A 4-2-3-1 formed by Understall in goal, Van Rooij, Hilgers, Bruns and Salah-Eddine in defence, Regeer and Vlap in the middle, Steijn, Van Wolfswinkel and Rots behind the former Atalanta player Lammers.
