However, the Italian side comes into this Roma vs Brighton matchup in the better recent form. The Brighton results have faded domestically since the turn of the year, and that could offer enough incentive to side with the home side landing a victory on Thursday.

Roma vs Brighton Analysis
Roma Preview
The appointment of Daniele De Rossi has transformed Roma’s season, with the former club captain taking the Italian side within touching distance of the Champions League spots since replacing Jose Mourinho.
However, the Europa League will present its own challenge for the newly appointed boss. But, he has already shown that he has the know-how to deal with the issues in the European game after overcoming a tricky playoff tie in the previous round against Feyenoord.
The Roma standings saw them finish as the runners-up in the group stage, but they were unfortunate with UEL injuries throughout the campaign. They still recorded four wins, which included victories in all three of their home matches.
Roma’s home record in the competition is one of the key UEL team stats this week. The Italian side have lost just once in their last 23 home matches. Since a loss at home against Real Betis last term, they have won eight of their last nine in Rome.
Brighton Preview
The exciting campaign in Europe continues for Brighton in the knockout stage. The Premier League side defied expectations to secure their spot in the next round after finishing top of the UEL standings in the opening round, picking up more points than European heavyweights such as Marseille and Ajax.
Brighton recorded four wins from their six matches in the group stage. The UEL player stats show that it was their defensive players that ultimately made the difference, as the Seagulls allowed just five goals across their six matches, which was the best of the sides in Group B.
Brighton are playing their first season in Europe this term. They became the first club from England to reach the knockout stage on their debut appearance since Bolton Wanderers in the UEFA Cup in 2005-06.
However, this will be their first meeting with an Italian side. But, they could take confidence from the fact that Premier League teams have eliminated their Italian rivals in seven of the last nine ties in the Europa League.
Roma vs Brighton Head to Head
This will be a first competitive meeting between these teams. However, Roma’s record against English sides is very weak. They will need a positive result in this first leg after going 14 without a win away from home against Premier League sides.
