Match Facts
Roma haven't won any of their last 14 away games against English teams in European competition (D5 L9) since a 1-0 victory against Liverpool in the UEFA Cup in February 2001.
This will be Brighton’s first ever meeting with an Italian club in European competition; English Premier League sides have progressed from seven of their nine knockout ties against Italian clubs in the UEFA Europa League, including their last five in a row since Tottenham were knocked out of the 2014-15 last 32 by Fiorentina.
Roma have only lost one of their last 23 home games in the UEFA Europa League (W17 D5), a 1-2 defeat to Real Betis in the 2022-23 group stage, since which they have won eight of nine home games in the competition (D1).
In Brighton’s first ever season in European competition, they have reached their first ever knockout round. They are the first English club to make their knockout round debut in major UEFA competition (excl. pre-group rounds) since Bolton Wanderers in the 2005-06 UEFA Cup.
Roma central defender Diego Llorente has made the most progressive ball carries (104) and progressed the ball further up the pitch with a ball carry (1,042m) than any other player in this season’s UEFA Europa League. Llorente, however, never ended on the winning side in four appearances against Brighton when playing for parent club Leeds United in the Premier League (D2 L2).
