On the European stage, Saint-Gilloise have found the going tough. Saint-Gilles lost against Fenerbahce (2-1) in a tense match that ended 10v10. After that, the Belgians drew to Bodo/Glimt (0-0) before losing to another Scandinavian team, Midtjylland (1-0).
Saint-Gilloise also face a significant squad challenge, with key players, including Kevin Mac Allister, Guillaume François, Alessio Castro-Montes, Sofiane Boufal, and Henok Teklab, sidelined through injury.
Additionally, Lazare Amani, Casper Terho, and Promise David are ineligible, further limiting their options on the field.
AS Roma
Since José Mourinho’s departure, AS Roma have struggled to establish a sustainable project with a clear vision.
After failing to win the Europa League, the club hired Daniele De Rossi, a fan favorite, as their new coach in the hopes that he would bring stability and a new sense of identity.
His first months were decent enough to let him continue, and the club even backed the manager with important signings. However, his unexpected dismissal left fans questioning both the decision and its timing.

The club’s gamble on Croatian manager Ivan Jurić, following a promising stint at Torino, quickly backfired. Under Jurić, Roma suffered losses against Elfsborg (1-0), Inter (0-1), Fiorentina (5-1), and Verona (3-2).
The team managed a hard-fought draw with Athletic Club, and a lone win against against Dynamo Kyiv, which was about the only highlight of the season.
Roma is currently 12th in Serie A, with a negative goal difference (12:14), reflecting the lack of cohesion and consistency.

- Prediction: Draw
- Odds: 1.83 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 1-1
Both teams are having a rough time in their domestic leagues, and struggle to make an impact in the Europa League.
While Roma has one Europa League win, their current struggles balance out any advantage. Roma coach Jurić is highly criticised by the fanbase, as a majority want him gone and a loss in the match might force the board to reconsider his appointment.
Saint-Gilles, on the other hand, will have the home advantage, but the injury crisis forces the club to adopt a more conservative approach.
Royale Union Saint-Gilloise vs AS Roma Betting Tip
- Pick: Artem Dovbyk to score
- Odds: 4.33 (22Bet)
Serie A fans will recognize Artem Dovbyk, who joined Roma after impressive performances in La Liga. With four goals in ten games, his strength in the box has been one of the few bright spots for Roma.
Dovbyk is one of the few highlights of the season, scoring four goals in ten matches. His unique physical build makes him a beast in the box, making him a difficult player to defend against. With the Belgian side hampered by injuries, he is likely to appear on the scoresheet.
