He's already having a good start as the head coach of As Roma right in the domestic league games and fixtures. Three straight win in the league and then a recent lose against the best side in Italian Seria A is not a bad results for him. They just have to bounce back up into the game and make sure the have a consistent run.

If they can can have consistency, qualifications for the knockouts stage and then the top four would be able to get. There is nothing impossible to achieve as much all hands are simply on deck.

Two years ago they won against Feyenoord, I do believe its something they can do yet again.

In five days the playoffs will be held, we will see the Turkish League and Czech League teams face each other. In the first leg, the match will be held at Rams Park, Galatasaray's headquarters. talking about Sparta Prague, as you said. if Sparta has played its matches with wins in its 12 matches. unfortunately, the 4 matches they played were friendly matches. plus, what was crucial was when Sparta played their match in the Europa League group phase. their performance was not good enough, 3 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses. plus, the teams that were their opponents in the Group C phase were not strong teams.

On the other hand, Galatarasay also played an impressive match. Galatasaray last lost when they visited Copenhagen's headquarters in the Champions League group stage. after that, Galatasaray almost always got full points in every match. well, if I had to compare based on my personal point of view. in fact, it is Sparta who have to prepare for the next match which they will play in Turkey, Rams Park, Galatasaray's headquarters. because it is not an easy matter for the away team to beat the home team in the first leg. moreover, if I refer to Asian Handicap Betting for a while, Galatasaray is ahead with an odds margin of 0:3/4.
Based on European betting exchanges, Galatasaray with odds @1.76 and while Sparta Prague with odds @4.60. It seems clear, there is a gap presented based on the odds and statistics that I said. Let's just wait, when this match takes place, but if I may speculate for now, Galatasar will win the match over the opposing team in the playoffs.

Im thinking differently regarding the potential results from those matches. IMO, roma may be leading the game while galatasaray may be struggling to beat sparta prague. Roma was losing against intermilan but it seemed to me that this would not be disrupting the performance from the club. Let's say that rossi was doing his job better by scoring two goals against intermilan.
Even juventus was not able to do that but roma was taking all of the risks to get the points from intermilan. I thought galatasary'd get quite convincingly beaten by sparta prague consider it was even better than roma. Let's wait for this match to begin soon and im expecting something big to come in the future.

There will be so many matches to come soon and this will be making the competition is just getting even more interesting. Roma had been talked many times and people were also speculating this club to win the competition but yeah we have a team that was even stronger compared to the bayern.
Yet serie a club can't be underestimated. Sometimes, it gives us many surprises like what happened in UCL last season.

Sparta Prague are indeed in their best performance but in terms of quality they are not much better than Galatasaray, so it is because Sparta Prague's performance has been quite consistent up to now that the match against Galatasaray will be more intense but I don't see any team being a favorite between the two because In my opinion, Sparta Prague and Galatasaray currently have the same opportunity to beat each other.

Actually I doubt if Galatasaray will be able to win Sparta Prague because Sparta Prague is very much in a good form since the beginning of this season till now because if you check there last 12 matches they have played, they won all the matches, so actually Sparta Prague has really proven to every team on this season that they have all it takes to go far. Although Galatasaray on the other hand is also very much in a good performance on this season because they have made a great impact this season but the truth remains that this there match against Sparta Prague is gonna be very difficult to predict.

I agree with you that every team has the chance to qualify, especially in football, anything can happen, including surprising results where the favorite team actually loses, and also their chances vary in percentage only.
Of the several strong teams competing in the playoff round 16, there are three teams that in my opinion have a very high percentage of qualifying, even if they fail to qualify it will be very surprising, such as AC Milan, Benfica, and also Galatasaray because the three teams face opponents whose strength is quite far away under them.
What about AS Roma's chances? Of course, they have this opportunity, it's just that De Rossi has to be able to implement the right strategy because this season Roma is not strong enough when facing the team that is more favored, and De Rossi's job this time is very tough to get his squad through the play-off round, if it succeeds that's clear this is a good achievement for Roma's new coach because he has minimal experience in European competitions in his career as a club coach.

Roma must be able to improve their game to be more attractive because their struggle in the European league will certainly be quite difficult if you look at the opponents they face. It is hoped that the defeat by Inter Milan in Serie A will not affect the mentality of Roma players when they visit Feyenoord. Statistically, Roma seems to have a good record when they face Feyenoord because Roma was able to win 3 matches and draw 1 and lose 1.
But in the first leg match, Roma will certainly have to be careful because playing at their opponent's home ground is certainly quite difficult to play openly to attack.

For De Rossi, his coaching performance will be tested in the European league when he faces Feyenoord because it will be a good record for him if he manages to steal victory in the first leg. For Feyenoord, they have good capital to face Roma because in the previous match Feyenoord was able to win against Sparta in the Eredivisie. So in this opportunity the bookie gives odds @2.0 for Feyenoord and @3.70 for Roma. Of course the bookie favors Feyenoord to win the first leg match.

AS Roma have improved their performance but it is not enough to beat Inter Milan. If you look at the squad of AS Roma and Inter Milan, they are in a different level of quality. The squad of Inter Milan is one level above of AS Roma squad, they have many top players who perform in their best form in the recent times. It is not the time for AS Roma to beat Inter Milan, they are still struggling to return to its best form. Meanwhile, Inter Milan have reached the stability on their game because they have been struggling since the last season with almost the same players and with the same coach.

Sure, the chance will be always 50:50. AS Roma is possible to beat Feyenoord because AS Roma has a better squad quality. However, Feyenoord is experiencing a good season, they performed well during this season. I think Feyenoord also has the chance to quality for the next round. Although the level of Eredivisie and Serie A are different, but we can see both AS Roma and Feyenoord have almost the same quality.

Well the defeat By Inter Milan wasn’t surprising as Inter are the big and best team in the Serie A currently. Roma tried to have a say in that match and for that reason we must commend them. Like I said the Roma defense line still seems shaky and the lead Inter had to build up and get the winning goal was a blunder from the defender. Yes this blunder was really one crazy one and that made Inter build more in the game.

 De Rossi lacks the experience but I think he’s got a good style of play and that’s working for Roma, just that he’ll need to try and straighten up his defense line if he’s to get anything with this Roma team. They’ve got a match against Feynoord this week and making such defensive blunders shouldn’t reoccur as without these blunders then they can have a say in that match.

Galatasaray will play against Sparta Prague on Thursday.
Both teams' performances are good. Galatasaray will play the first game at home and this is an advantage for them.
I hope we win the first game differently and have an advantage in the next game.

If De Rossi can make his team perform as well as they did against Inter Milan, I'm sure they can win the play-off match against Feyenoord, because I saw them playing quite well. The defeat against Inter is understandable, because we know Inter has been very strong this season in various competitions. De Rossi should forget about the defeat against Inter, and shift his focus to Feyenoord, I hope he can achieve victory in his first match in the Europa League.

It is very possible that Roma will produce a different performance in the Europa League, because it all depends on who their opponent is. It's natural that some fans doubt Roma, because De Rossi still has very little experience. However, he can become a manager like Xabi Alonso who is currently coaching Leverkusen, and that requires a process that takes quite a bit of time.

The best scenario is to draw at Feyenoord and win at home, maybe that sounds more realistic in my opinion. All other possibilities could happen, we'll see if Roma can reach the final like last season under manager Mourinho.

AS Roma's defeat against Inter Milan is something normal for me personally. just imagine, De Rossi has only managed AS Roma in 4 matches, including the match against Inter. we know very well that Inter can currently be said to be a team that is on fire in the Serie A League. they are at the top of the standings, and Inter should be able to win the match without conceding. remember, De Rossi is a coach who lacks experience. however, AS Roma put up quite an interesting match, they scored two goals against Inter Milan. unfortunately, one of AS Roma's defenders made a blunder with his own goal. as it should be, in this match AS Roma's defeat was only limited by a narrow goal difference. Technically, the patterns and systems used by De Rossi are not too bad. unfortunately, the performance of AS Roma's defensive players underperformed.

But it doesn't matter, they were able to put up a fight and were able to score two goals in this match. even though the final result, AS Roma collapsed. now De Rossi's job is only to maximize his team. their first defeat against Inter was a valuable lesson for the AS Roma coach to improve his squad. in the match against Feyenoord which will be held in the next 4 days, De Rossi still has time to prepare his team when they visit. even though based on the betting market, Feyenoord is currently the favorite, but in the actual match we will know the result. so, we wait and can De Rossi? quite interesting.

Yes, there is still a chance for roma to break the assumptions of many people who doubt their ability to compete in the European League this season. Even though in this case their performance is still not stable enough, I predict they will put on a more epic game for the European league. From a defensive perspective, it is De rossi job to form a better defense. He has to pressure the players to perform better, Otherwise their regular places will be filled by other players. If that is a crucial point that must be addressed then that option is certainly very important for motivating players to perform better.

In the European League, roma will travel to feyenoord home ground for the first leg. With the bad results from the match against Inter milan, of course they must be able to learn to improve their quality for the first leg, if they can't do this, of course roma will find it difficult to win at home to feyenoord. I still believe roma can beat Feyenoord and qualify for the next round.

When I look at the matchups I think that the most difficult to predict result can the Feyenoord vs Roma and Galatasaray vs Sparta Prague. I mean theory there are favourite of this matches which is Roma and Galatasaray. Both Roma and Feyenoord plays very consistently own local league, play both of them are equally good. Sparta Prague is making a surprise this season. They qualify this stage by eliminating Real Betis in the groups.

But unfortunately, there is not much time for De Rossi to be able to give his best for AS Roma because after all, De Rossi appointment to replace Mourinho also happened suddenly and also, De Rossi is only contracted until the end of the season. With factors like that, there is not much time available for De Rossi to fully recover AS Roma's performance for the rest of the season. So yes, with a lack of experience and so much pressure, it is certainly not easy for De Rossi to be able to give his best, unless if De Rossi has high luck with the short time he has at this time.

Roma vs Inter Milan was a match that had 6 goals and I think Roma had their say in this match. In the first half of the match, they tried to contain Inter and make sure they don’t enjoy their free play of football. That pattern worked but still the major problem which is their shaky defense line was their major challenge in this match. Inter came in with a different pattern and they were able to break down the defense Roma tried to have.

 For the UEL i think De Rossi will need a proper evaluation of that match and build more on his strength and improve his weaknesses in that match, that way he’ll be able to have a say against Feynoord in the UEL. But with the transfer window closed and there's no way to strengthen the squad again, he would need to come up with a defensive strategy to get past Feyenoord.

Advance to the knockout phase is consider a simple action for AS Roma to pull through, they don't have challenges towards facing mediocre teams. Stop sharing negative motives for AS Roma, it's time to start sharing positive energy around AS Roma. The team have nothing to lose this season because the new coach have started showcasing his potentials for the club. With the current records and good results of Roma, the coach have proven to become promising in all areas. De Rossi needs more time to make things fall back normal for the team, it's call progress.

I will still give them a chance to qualify for the last 16, regardless of how they perform. In this case, it's actually not just AS Roma, but all the clubs that are in the play-offs have the opportunity to qualify for the round of 16, and what makes the difference is what percentage of their chance of qualifying.
We cannot claim whether they will qualify or not, because in a football match anything can happen. It doesn't matter whether a club is the worst club, but if they are lucky enough and can play well in the decisive match they will be able to qualify.
AS Roma's new coach definitely wants to show that he is also capable of taking AS Roma further in the European League this season and one way is to give his best in this match.

I personally don't see a chance at the Europa for Roma because they currently don't look strong enough to really win the Europa because they will get to a point where they will not be able to tackle the bigger teams thst will be at such stages, teams like Leverkusen who's now at the top of their league bearing the strongest team in their league.

Same with Liverpool been at the top of the premier league which they have been able to maintain their position at the top and having a good chance at winning the trophy by the end of the season, so if Liverpool is doing so well at the premier league where the competition currently is much more than that they will be facing at the Europa then it's obvious they will do so well in the Europa than they have done so far.

I saw that Roma actually performed well in the first half. They were able to equalize the score after trailing 0-1. They were also able to lead 2-1 before Marcus Thuram equalized the score at 2-2. In the first half I thought Roma were really able to appear quite solid. I don't expect them to win the game but at least they will get a draw.

But in the second half everything changed. I don't seem to see Roma anymore like in the first half. It seems like Inter Milan tried to change the tactics of the game and it seems like it worked well. They were able to score 2 goals in the second half and ended the match with a score of 4-2.

I think this is not a bad result for Roma and De Rossi. But still, this will be an evaluation for De Rossi to see the shortcomings of their game. Feyenoord will of course watch the replay of the match to see Roma's weaknesses.
