Brighton are unbeaten in 13 home games in all competitions
Roma have lost just once under Daniele De Rossi
The Seagull’s have lost three of their last four to nil
Brighton’s European dream to come to an end
It has been a debut campaign on the continental stage to remember for Brighton – finishing top of Group B which included historical European giants Marseille and Ajax – but a 4-0 thumping in Rome in the first leg may have given Roberto De Zerbi’s men to0 high a mountain to climb.
The Seagull’s go into the crucial second leg in inconsistent form, winning just two of their last six in all competitions, and also dealing with a host of injury issues which include Joao Pedro – the top scorer in the Europa League this season.
Roma meanwhile are undefeated across their last seven in all competitions while they have also avoided a loss in each of their last five on the road and will prove to be tough opposition on Thursday night.
Brighton have looked strong at home and have avoided defeat in each of their last 13 at the AMEX. Five of the last ten have ended in draws and four of these have been via a 1-1 scoreline. A repeat of this score draw catches the eye, with the Seagull’s unable to complete a miraculous comeback on the night.
