Roma will aim to continue their perfect record in the 2023-24 Europa League campaign on Thursday, when they travel to take on Slavia Prague in the fourth round of group fixtures.
The visitors have won each of their opening three games and will aim to guarantee a place in the round of 16 with a fourth straight victory, while their hosts are only three points worse off and are also fighting for guaranteed progression to the last 16.
The Cernevobili's group campaign then began with a trip to Switzerland to take on Servette in September, and they kicked off with a three-point haul as Lukas Masopust and Igoh Ogbu netted their goals in a 2-0 triumph.
Jindrich Trpisovsky's side then played host to Sheriff Tiraspol in the second round of fixtures and made it six points from a possible six in eye-catching fashion, dishing out a 6-0 beating as Mojmir Chytil hit a brace alongside goals from Ogbu, Ivan Schranz and David Doudera and a Munashe Garananga own goal, before they saw their perfect record halted in a trip to Rome last time out.
In the battle between two sides level on six points after two group games, the Czech outfit fell short in the Italian capital, eventually losing 2-0 after two early goals from the hosts, and after following that up with a league victory over Bohemians 1905, they now head into Thursday's reverse fixture on the back of a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Viktoria Plzen after initially going ahead through Mick van Buren, seeing them drop from top spot in the Czech top flight as a result.
