El Shaarawy and Dovbyk Set to Spearhead Roma’s Offensive Against Plzen

Gian Piero Gasperini is set to lead AS Roma in their upcoming match against Viktoria Plzen, restructuring the team’s offensive strategy. The coach has opted for Artem Dovbyk to spearhead the attack after a difficult European performance. This match presents an opportunity for the Ukrainian forward to redeem himself.

Offensive Lineup for Roma

Dovbyk will be supported in the attack by the Argentine duo of Paulo Dybala and Matias Soulé. Additionally, Stephan El Shaarawy is in contention for a starting position, looking to make an impact after his recent performances.

Midfield and Defense Adjustments

  • El Aynaoui and Koné are expected to take the central midfield roles.
  • Defensive shifts will see Ndicka and Cristante rested, while Hermoso, Mancini, and Celik will take the lead in defense.
  • Tsimikas is set to continue on the left side, working to regain his place in Gasperini’s plans.
  • Angelino remains sidelined due to injury.

The competition for the right flank features Wesley and Rensch, as both players vie for a starting role. Gasperini emphasized the importance of focus during training sessions, urging his players to maintain concentration throughout the match.

Game Objectives

The team’s objective is clear: secure a victory to reinvigorate an offense that has struggled for consistency. With a mix of new strategies and players aiming to prove themselves, the match against Viktoria Plzen presents a crucial moment for Roma’s season.
