Roma will be eager to avenge their recent 6-1 thrashing away from home at Thursday’s opponents, Bodo/Glimt, last time out in the Europa Conference League when they return to their Stadio Olimpico for this Matchday 4 encounter.
Roma had previously picked up comprehensive victories over CSKA Sofia and Zorya in 5-1 and 3-0 wins which has given Jose Mourinho’s side a six-point haul from their opening three games in the group stage of this new competition.

Prior to the 6-1 mauling at the hands of Bodo/Glimt, the Italian hosts had previously won four Europa ties on the trot as they’d secured a 5-1 win on aggregate against Turkish Super Lig outfit, Trabzonspor, in the qualifying round before the group stage.
Roma also possess a strong record of results on home soil as well as the hosts have suffered just the one defeat out of their last 19 matches overall in all competitions which came in the shape of a 2-1 loss to AC Milan but this sequence also consists of 14 wins too.
Bodo/Glimt moved top of Group C with their resounding 6-1 thrashing of Roma on Matchday 3.
The visitors hold a one-point lead at the top over their Italian hosts ahead of this trip to the Stadio Olimpico.
The Norwegian visitors have made an impressive start to their Europa Conference League. They still remain unbeaten to date in their opening three games of the group stage thanks to wins against Zorya and the aforementioned victory over Roma.
Bodo/Glimt have also picked up a point in a 0-0 draw away at CSKA Sofia to give the Norwegian side a total haul of seven points so far but although they’ve picked up a total of six wins in their nine ties in this competition, the visitors have only gained one win on the road so far.
A 3-0 win away from home at Icelandic side, Valur, in the qualifying rounds was followed by a 2-1 loss at Prishtina and then back-to-back draws at Zalgiris and CSKA Sofia but they face a tough trip on Thursday night.
Roma have kept a total of 11 clean sheets in their last 19 matches in all competitions and their solid defence should stand the hosts in good stead for this Matchday 4 clash.
