-----------------------------
Roma will be eager to secure their first Champions League victory since 2019 after narrowly missing out against Real Madrid last week. Meanwhile, Slovan Bratislava arrive in Rome looking to bounce back from a disappointing 3-0 defeat in their previous European match.

Team Analysis:
Roma will be eager to bounce back from their heartbreaking late defeat to Real Madrid and secure their first Champions League win in years, especially after maintaining an unbeaten run in Serie A. Slovan Bratislava, meanwhile, are struggling in Europe after heavy defeats and face a tough challenge against the Italian side at the Stadio Olimpico.

Player Situation:
Roma could welcome Paulo Dybala back but remain without Bryan Cristante, Manu Kone and goalkeeper Mile Svilar, while Donyell Malen is pushing for a starting spot. Slovan Bratislava will rely on the creative threat of Tigran Barseghyan, with Roman Cerepkai, Suleiman Camara or Andraz Sporar expected to lead the attack.

Result Prediction:
Slovan Bratislava have struggled defensively in the Champions League, conceding an average of 3.6 goals per game and allowing plenty of shots on target. With Roma proving tough to beat at home, the Italian side are favourites to win, although their injury problems could limit the scoreline.

Predicted Result: AS Roma 2-0 Slovan Bratislava.
