Roma v Midtjylland: Gasperini rotates defence, Dybala starts | OneFootball

Everything is ready for the Europa League clash that will see Roma face Midtjylland, the group leader, at 18:45. The teams have taken to the field for warm-ups and the official line-ups chosen by the respective coaches have been announced.

Roma, Gasperini smiles: Dybala starts against Midtjylland

As for the eleven fielded by Gian Piero Gasperini, just a few days before the match against Napoli, the main novelty is Ghilardi making his debut in defense from the first minute, allowing Hermoso to rest. In attack, as has often happened this season, Gasperini relies on Paulo Dybala in the “false nine” role, who returns after a period on the sidelines. In midfield, El Aynaoui gets the nod instead of Cristante, while captain Lorenzo Pellegrini operates in the attacking midfield position.

THE OFFICIAL LINE-UPS: ROMA (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Ghilardi, Mancini, Ndicka; Celik, El Aynaoui, Kone, Wesley; Soule, Pellegrini; Dybala. Substitutes: De Marzi, Gollini, Rensch, Cristante, Ferguson, Tsimikas, Hermoso, Ziolkowski, Bailey, Pisilli, El Shaarawy. Coach: Gian Piero Gasperini.

MIDTJYLLAND (5-3-2): Olafsson; Mbabu, Diao, Erlic, Bech, Jensen; Castillo, Bravo, Billing; Franculino, Gogorza. Substitutes: Lossl, Ugboh, Lee, Guesung Cho, Osorio, Andreasen, Paulinho, Djabi, Simsir, Brumado, Daniel Silva, Etim. Coach: Mike Tullberg.
