AS Roma vs Stuttgart Prediction and Betting Tips for this crucial meeting on Thursday, January 22, 2026, at 20:00 GMT. Fans can catch the action live on TNT Sports 3 and Discovery+ from the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. This penultimate round determines who climbs higher.
Both sides sit closely in the table with Stuttgart in ninth and Roma in 10th place currently. Each team has 12 points after six rounds of play. In this preview, you will discover the Best Europa League Predictions from our experts.
The Giallorossi are looking sharp under the bright lights of Rome. Even with some mixed home results recently, they have won six of their last eight matches at the Olimpico. Fans are expecting a massive performance to leapfrog their German rivals in the standings.
Injury news is a bit of a mixed bag for the hosts. Evan Ferguson is back after his Sassuolo knock, which is a huge boost. Still, losing Mario Hermoso for a month hurts the backline. Dybala and Pellegrini will have to carry the creative load.
Motivation should not be an issue for the Italians. They are just a point behind the automatic qualification spots. Winning here would take the pressure off their final league phase game. They need to cut down the fouls to avoid giving away dangerous set pieces.
Stuttgart has been flying high domestically with three straight away wins. They put four past Leverkusen and three past Bochum lately. That winning feeling is vital as they prepare for their first competitive trip to Rome. Sebastian Hoeness has this squad playing very brave football.
Missing Bilal El Khannouss due to suspension is a real blow for the Swabians. He has been their most productive outlet in Europe with three goals. Deniz Undav will be the main man now. He has ten league goals and three European assists already.
Defensive stability away from home remains a concern for the visitors. They lost at Fenerbahce and Basel earlier in this campaign. It's a massive test of their character at the Olimpico. I expect them to stick to their high shot volume style regardless. Best Europa League Predictions often favor the brave.
Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini is shifting focus toward maintaining the club's fourth-place standing in Serie A while preparing for a crucial Europa League clash against Stuttgart. Gasperini emphasized that their league position was hard-earned and remains a priority. Despite European challenges, the coach welcomed the return of Evan Ferguson and Paulo Dybala, noting that mental toughness is key to overcoming the demands of top-tier competition.
