Roma – Stuttgart: a make-or-break night at the Stadio Olimpico 
Thursday night the Stadio Olimpico hosts a match that could tip the group. Roma and Stuttgart sit dead level, just outside the top eight. Win and you shove one side into the automatic qualification places before the final day. Lose and you watch the race slip away.
Roma: ambitious but patchy at the Olimpico 
Under Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma have all but locked a play-off spot. That isn’t enough. They want to push higher. On 12 points, the Giallorossi are one behind Braga and Porto and two off the teams in 4th–6th. The odd stat is obvious: Roma have been near-perfect away, grabbing nine of those 12 points on the road. At the Olimpico it’s been bumpier — defeats to Lille and Plzen left marks. Still, home form reads well on balance: six wins in their last eight across all competitions. The fans expect a win to wipe out the doubts and get back in the top-eight hunt.
Stuttgart: dominant at home, shaky on European road trips 
Stuttgart owe their position to fortress form at home — they’ve won every European match at the Mercedes-Benz Arena. Away from Germany it’s a different story: losses at Basel and Fenerbahçe, a rebound against Go Ahead Eagles. Their recent European away record is worrying: six defeats, three wins and a draw in their last ten trips. Still, they arrive in Rome with momentum — three straight away wins in domestic action, with thumping results against Bremen and Leverkusen. That confidence helps, but it doesn’t buy you anything in Europe.

First, a note on our predictions
- What we put on Mathodds is analysis — that’s it. It’s one view, a snapshot. Never a guarantee. Sport is messy: a red card, an injury, a freak goal and the whole script flips.
- Let’s be blunt: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even the “obvious” ones go wrong. Yes, you can lose. It happens.
- Be sensible. Stake small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. Don’t chase losses — that rarely ends well.
- Betting should be entertainment, not a job or a payday. If it’s taking over your life, pause. Talk to a specialist if you need to — they’re there for that.
- Ultimately you’re responsible. Reading our tips means you accept the risk is real and won’t vanish, even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: betting is illegal for minors and must follow your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral into money problems, family stress and addiction. Need help? Gambling Helpline: 09 74 75 13 13 (non-premium number) https://www.gambleaware.org/.
